CURRENT MISSION

Live an epic year before starting medical school in fall of 2015. Goals: Learn Spanish, Ski 100 days, climb mountains

ABOUT ME

I am a 25 year old American who now calls Berkeley, California home. While I'm now a bit more tied down with medical school than I have been previously I don't think I'll ever shake the wanderlust that's inspired my travel in Central and South America, Nepal, and Europe.

PHILOSOPHY

"The mountains are calling and I must go."
-John Muir
