CURRENT MISSION

Doing med school by doing everything but my schoolwork

ABOUT ME

I am a student in Rhode Island, USA and I also have spent a considerable amount of time in Mali, West Africa. I absolutely adore traveling and meeting travelers, and couchsurfing reaffirms my faith in humanity. I just got back from a crazy adventure from Tunis to Istanbul where I greatly benefited from the expertise and hospitality of couchsurfers... I need to repay the karmic couchsurf debt, so if you find yourself in Providence, RI or Bamako, Mali please let me know.

If you want to learn more about the nonprofit I started go to www.malihealth.org
