An MD, MBA

I miss meeting people and discovering places.

There are so many interesting things to learn from everyone and I'm always curious about hearing your story. I'd rather have a nice chat with a local in a small casual restaurant in the outskirts of a city than go to museums and other touristy places.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This is such a great place to meet people you would otherwise not be able to in daily life. I'm here to meet travelers visiting my country as well as meet locals in the places I travel to

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe I am quite well-rounded and I can connect with most people I meet. I could talk about the arts such as the piano, drums, music recording, films and photography. I could share my experiences in scuba diving, island hopping or my huge interest in history, empires and languages. I can teach you about business, such as how to start your own. I could talk about science like recombinant DNA technology, gene therapy and virology, which is a huge world of untouched potential; or we could even talk about something important like poverty and public health!

Likewise, I am very interested in meeting and talking to new people as I believe that there is always something you can learn from them.
