CURRENT MISSION

live well, and to inspire others to do the same

ABOUT ME

I'm a researcher in pulmonary medicine and public health. I hangout a lot in the Loop and South Grand if any surfer wants to check out Vietnamese restaurants. I like coffee, wine, beer, spirits, friends, food, sleeping, talking, talking politics, talking culture, talking tequila, and everything in between.

PHILOSOPHY

Existance preceeds essence~ So make yourself whatever you want! Life is about sharing everything- love, friendship, experiences, and humor. To Live is to Rebel- Vivre est Rebeller.

Interests

I love meeting new people and being exposed to anything fun or crazy.I love concerts ( rock, punk, protest, jazz, anything).I am also a Bartender. OFCOURSE my main passion right now is traveling and seeing all I can until I go blind. I love reading anything about the environment and I like to argue with people about pretty much anything. I'm very liberal, but I can't stand overzealous liberals. I like meeting ppl with different political/social perspectives. I love laughing and being as casual and comfortable as possible.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Navigated the foreign marriage bureaucracy in Bangkok, Thailand! Most paperwork I ever did in my life! And then, we left our marriage license in a Thai taxi...AND REMARKABLY WAS ABLE TO TRACK SAID CABBIE DOWN OVER THE COURSE OF AN HOUR (WITH NO ID NUMBER FOR TAXI) IN A CITY OF 7 MILLION! That's destiny there!

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn whatever my surfers are kind enough to teach me about who they are, where they came from, and where they're going. I hope to offer the same to my hosts!
