CURRENT MISSION

To follow my dreams and passions

ABOUT ME

I have traveled extensively around the world; Europe, Britian, Asia, Mexico, and Central America. I've lived and worked abroad. I'm about 75% American and 25% International. I am a new doctor just starting my career in medicine but will always make time to travel and meet people from other places. I don't have space to offer a couch but am happy to be a host in other ways.
I am very social but not a party animal. I love connecting with good friends and making new friends.

PHILOSOPHY

I am fairly liberal in my politics but I can understand other views. I consider myself a Buddhist but I'm not practicing at the moment.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I volunteered on a Burmese refugee camp 15 years ago. I lived in a hut in the jungle for 4 months. I bathed in a stream and lived very simply. The people I lived with on that camp still inspire me today. They are the bravest people I've ever known and through it all, kept their spirit and faith in life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a lot about alternative medicine, feng shui, and Chinese philosophy.
