Overview
About Me
I grew up in California but love to travel and have lived for multiple years in Chile. International exchange has changed my perspective on what it means to be healthy and reinforced that it's the relationships I make with others that bring me happiness. I've enjoyed hosting students from Chile and Sweden in my own home and find sharing food an excellent way to learn about and enjoy different cultures. I love showing other people hidden quirks about my city, it makes me better appreciate where I live. I enjoy all sorts of outdoor activities from cycling to rock climbing to downhills skiing. When I'm not at the hospital you can find me playing with my 2 year old niece, having friends over for dinner, or setting out on an overnight camping adventure.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
The funny thing is that while traveling abroad I've always had the pleasure of staying with host families and never couch surfed. But now I'm applying for residency programs in Obstetrics and Gynecology and hoping to couch surf during my interviews so that I can meet locals and get a better sense of the communities I'll be considering making my new home!
