ABOUT ME

Hey there! I'm currently a medical student at St. Louis University. I have lived in Missouri, Maryland, and Colorado and appreciate many recreations of life from hiking to live music to educational seminars. I currently am in the hustle and bustle of medical school life, but have great recommendations for St. Louis food, drink, enjoyment, and may even have a chance to meet for a hooping session in Forest Park, or a beer at one of the many microbrews in the area.

PHILOSOPHY

When you find a person you can travel the world with, that is a friend for life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a great tool to contribute to society in a way that benefits both host and traveler!

Music, Movies, and Books

Old school hip hop of the J5 and Tribe variety. Jam bands of the Lotus, Umphrey's, Yonder variety. Funk of the Galactic and Vulfpeck variety. And a sprinkling of folk, electronic, Celtic, bluegrass, anything you can get down to really.

I enjoy books that transport you to another realm. I'm currently reading Patti Smith's memoir, Just Kids as well as a nonfiction about gender inequality, Half the Sky.

Movies that become favorites for me are those that make me think long after the film has ended (i.e. Being John Malkovich, The Search)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you modern dance; how to do a paradiddle (drum rudiment); how to do a hula hoop trick; how to pet a dog; and I can help you memorize all 60 US national park names.
