Hi Yall, I am finishing medical school this year and am travelling the US for interviews for Psychiatry Residency( next stop is Honolulu, have been to Tucson, DC, LA so far). I grew up in DC area, and have lived in NYC, New Orleans, Iowa, Botswana, and Copenhagen. I've been around the world, w/ my favorites being Mexico, Taiwan, Morocco, South Africa, and Namibia. I enjoy collecting music from around the world (my favorite being CDs of South African House, Mexican Cumbias, and Dancehall from Jamaica).
