About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet great people, have fun, learn, get outside, play music.

ABOUT ME

I am an enthusiastic, outgoing, happy, driven, individual looking for fun and adventure. I was born and raised in California, but now live in Baltimore, MD for medical school. I'm passionate about fostering meaningful connections between humans!

PHILOSOPHY

Work hard, always learn, give more than you receive, enjoy the present moment, and let life take you places.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate with passion, love for life, and a desire to meet new people and learn their stories!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Some of the best nights of rest I've ever had have been on the couches of friends. How can that be?! I think we forget how comfortable and welcoming a free couch can be to a tired traveler.
