Hello there!

My name is Chris, I am a graduate of Michigan State and I am studied Microbiology. I am looking forward to applying to medical schools and becoming a doctor. I am a very friendly and open person. I definitely am not one to cause trouble and I am pretty excited to try out new things, especially when I am traveling.

I am an avid traveler, and have traveled to a few places around the world. This past summer, I was in Brazil for 7 weeks. While I was there I worked on a research project in a city called Diamantina in the beautiful state of Minas Gerais. Honestly, I do not believe any trip to Brazil is complete without visiting MG in Brazil. The scenery is beautiful and the people were amazing.

I am hoping to do an around the world trip once I graduate in December, and take some time to 'find myself'. As of now, my list includes the following: Brazil, Argentina, Poland, India, Japan, and Australia. Let me know if anyone has any ideas of tips for planning an around the world trip such as this and please please please give me suggestions. I want to hear it all.

As for the more personal stuff, I definitely enjoy watching movies. Honestly, I watch a lot of them, probably more than it is healthy too. TV shows are also a big interest. I am really excited for the upcoming season of House of Cards. Shameless is probably my favorite show to watch. This would definitely be a good piece of conversation for us.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing to enter into the wonderful community of travelers. One of the best parts of traveling is meeting new people and having great conversations with them. I am hoping that by using Couchsurfing, I will expand my network of friends around the world and create new amazing experiences with them.

Music, Movies, and Books

Hardest questions ever asked.

Music - Constantly changes. Classic rock is always great, I enjoy classical pieces. I really enjoy movie scores, especially ones by Hans Zimmer. Definitely enjoy Top Hits of today.

Movies: Love the James Bond series, love Indiana Jones series. I loved Interstellar. The last movie I saw that I got a rush of energy while watching was Rouge One.

TV: Favorite shows: Shameless and An Idiot Abroad. I could go on for hours about how much I love Karl Pilkington. Other shows I enjoy: House of Cards, Veep, Scandal, Grey's Anatomy, Bob's Burgers, Mr. Robot. There are just so many.

Books: At the moment I am reading The Travel Diaries of an Idiot Abroad by Karl Pilkington. If you liked the show, then you will love the book. Made me laugh a lot.
