About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finishing residency and finally be done with medical training! I want to have friends all over the world as well as visit the last continent I have yet to visit: South America

ABOUT ME

Just a city boy, living in a lonely world, he took a midnight train going anywhere

(Just kidding, I can't actually describe myself)

PHILOSOPHY

I always value the notion that Life has a meaning and everything happens for a reason. In that case, stumbling upon couchsurfing after surfing the web might be the universe's way of making you and I meet!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Going to the club by bike in netherlands
Barhopping and went to local brewery in vancouver, Canada
Wine tastings in Adelaide, Australia as well as Victoria Islands, Canada
Went off hollywood street and amazed by how many bums living in the street - it gives you the glimpse of reality rather than the overglossed part of Hollywood
Being lost in Seoul and experience its beauty - also, first time seeing and tasting snow!
Being lost in Japan and tried my broken Japanese to great success!!
Went to Bangkok and eat all the local food with the locals - amazing, spicy food!
Eurotrip from Strazbourg-Tubingen-Prague-Vienna-Krakow
Getting lost in the Souks of Marrakesh
Lots of stuff I have done -crazy stuff and I am willing to disclose more if I get to know you more :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Google maps works offline and you can get position via gps. That said, it is essential to download the map first over wifi and zoom on the places you want to visit so it already downloads the map in high definition

I'm using Google's Project Fi which enables me to just use my US number to use in any country without roaming!

Eurail planner app works offline!

Learn basic languages from the locals - it unlocks an entirely new conversation topic, you learn something, and it makes the locals really happy when you at least try speaking their language (especially useful in France)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Medical advise
Tech advise
Cultural experience from Asia
A glass of beer/wine at the end of a busy day
