Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Finishing med school.

Everyday I try to do one thing that scares me.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

Travel/Flight Hacks, dance (hip hop, breakdancing, bhangra, bollywood, modern, salsa), food, wilderness medicine, stories from the ER.

I can't help but keep moving, while keeping my day (or night? can't tell anymore in the ER) job as an ER doctor, hoping to inspire other young people that you can travel the world without sacrificing time or money
