CURRENT MISSION

Touring the USA for medical schools and laughs before I go to Spain for 10 months.

ABOUT ME

I'm in between undergraduate and medical school and looking to learn as much about the world as possible before I take the plunge into 4 years for osteopathic medicine. If someone has something to say, I love to listen. I look forward to meeting you!

PHILOSOPHY

Under construction. As I have experienced the world as a scientist I understand that "life" is a temporally and energetically finite process involving transmission of electrochemical impulses. As a transcendentalist I understand that I can't totally look at and dissect what life is because to do so would be to remove myself from the process...which is erroneous. I oscillate between the two and try to enjoy, understand, and improve human experience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently I am looking to see what this is all about. If I have a good experience I would love to host people at my parents small farm nestled in Massillon Ohio. I would be glad to take someone around town to the local hotspots of bustling Massillon/Canton.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Nothing yet! I look forward to it though.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love modernist literature, neurobiology articles, poetry, and political satire. Anything that's informative, funny, or thought provoking I can appreciate.
Authors: Hesse, Morris, Joyce, Dostoevsky, Roy, Bao Ninh,Fromm, and others.
I've been listening to a lot of Mr. Lif, Aesop rock, and Guru lately. I love everything ranging from Lady Gaga to Gravenhurst, Bjork, and the Mountain Goats. I do not like Lil Wayne.
I like a lot of movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

After an intense freshman year of college I decided to go skydiving, spend 2 months in Spain, and participate in a biomedical research project. I have volunteered in hospitals and hiked for several weeks in the wilderness. Overall, I would say the most amazing thing I've seen is human connection and compassion.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love meetings artists, scientists, philanthropists, and especially people who combine those professions
