Konnichiwa!

Although I'm not of Japan ethnicity, one of my goals in life is to learn and explore cultures as much as possible with the time given on Earth. The world is my oyster.

I am a gal who is passionate about equality in medicine and healthcare, equality among individuals in education, and nurturing future generations to be the best they can be. Also, passionate about FOOD.

Looking forward to begin medical school in 2018 and working for Doctors without Borders.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is not a free night crash on the couch. It is an act of hospitality and sharing one's culture with another.

I enjoy sharing stories, conversations, and learning about each other through an open heart and an open heart. It's what makes us kinder altogether.

Definitely will not leave stinky clothes around.

I genuinely want to be your friend!
