My name is Forest, I'm a medical student with a passion for traveling to new places and meeting new people. I live in Charleston SC, USA about 1 miles from the city center in a very nice neighborhood. I am training to be a head and neck surgeon/ otolaryngologist as it seems like something colol to do with my life. I have lived in the US in South Carolina all my life, but have tried to travel as much as I can in the little free time that studying medicine allows.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To see the world without crushing the single comma in my bank account. I really want to meet new friends in different countries, to expand my horizons. The world is full of wonderful and interesting people, and I want to meet as many of them as I can and learn about different cultures.

Interests

medicine, reading, music, playing my guitar and violin, discussing metaphysics, tennis, basketball, playing chess

One of my favorite things is having deep conversations over a glass of excellent scotch, or hanging out in the pub telling stories over some good beers. Anywhere there is music, I feel at home, and my hands are never far from my guitar when I'm at my house.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have many varied interests in literature and film, and would certainly be most eager to share them if we meet! I could talk all day about music and not grow bored.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I cut this massive tumor off a man's face once.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can provide in-depth conversation on English grammar, puedo hablar espanol como un nativo( que tiene cinco anos) , i love talking about linguistics, on western medicine, on music theory, and on economics. I have enough cursory knowledge of other various areas that, with enough beer, I can certainly fabricate expertise to a passable degree (really though, I have a passion for learning new things and will talk into the sunrise once my interest has been piqued)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Southern culture, best places to visit in SC, how to manage your diabetes and hypertension, etc, all the fun things in life

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Bahamas, Bermuda, Canada, Costa Rica, Czech Republic, Dominican Republic, Germany, Spain, United Kingdom
