About Me

CURRENT MISSION

become a doctor, explore the US, and learn something from each person I meet

ABOUT ME

Cheese Addict, Taekwondo Enthusiast, Ex-Healthcare Consultant, Mangler of Basic Spanish

PHILOSOPHY

I want to do as many interesting things with my mind and body as possible in this life. To find, create, and appreciate beauty in all its forms and to have a healthy body and soul are my ultimate values.

I believe a life of service and human connection isn't a means to an end, but an end --THE end -- in itself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now, just dipping my toe into the CS experience but am really excited to meet more adventurers -- this seems like an amazing comminity

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None, yet, but I hope to meet lots of people on my month long roadtrip across the US and eventually host travelers when I get to NYC.

Interests

Running, ancestral health (e.g., paleo/primal nutrition), roadtrips, reading, finding amazing new songs and listening to them on repeat until no longer tolerable
