CURRENT MISSION

To find and spread joy wherever this crazy journey of life brings me.

ABOUT ME

Me: outgoing, fun-loving, passionate, independent, open-minded, thoughtful, sensitive, coffee addict, spiritual, non-traditional, sarcastic, active, outdoorsy, nomadic, compassionate, open, truthful, an artsy wannabe, eclectic, night person. Or at least I like to think so...

The people you surround yourself with are what make the difference and therefore I try to surround myself with the interesting, thoughtful, and entertaining!

I am an obstetrician and gynecologist and love to travel and meet people from other walks of life.

PHILOSOPHY

The joy is in the journey.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Love hosting and being hosted. I don't think you can really get the feel for a place until you're immersed in it. Couchsurfing has connected me with amazing people who have been able to show me their cities in intimate ways that I never would have had access to if it wasn't for their direction.

Interests

Medicine, finding the beauty in everyone, hiking, music, movies, soccer(futbol), coffee, tattoos, exploring, camping, long conversations about nothing that mean everything, baking, waking up early to watch the sunrise and then going back to bed for hours, hole in the wall bars, people watching.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have hiked into the rainforest in Ecuador to spend the night sleeping under the stars surrounded by the vastness that I too easily forget. I have danced to hip-life in the streets of Accra. I swam under a waterfall in Ghana, and witnessed a mother giving birth. I have stayed up salsa dancing on a roof until the sun came up and then ate an omelet with hot chocolate at a roadside stand... I have been blessed.
