I'm a geek, and proud of it. An adventurous geek who is quite outgoing and likes doing new things, seeing new places, thinking about life and taking pictures. I am a doctor, I aspire to be more like The Doctor.

One of my goals in life is to go to as many places as I can, and have a life full of rich experiences, interesting people, and delicious food. I love conquering that moment of doubt, that moment of "can I do this?" In that moment we learn so much about ourselves.

I am child free. I rarely drink and don't use drugs. If given a choice, I prefer to sleep in, but there are things in the world that are worth getting up early for.

Allons-y!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling and I often am traveling alone. I love the idea of meeting people in the places I'm traveling and having adventures! I've always been the sort of person who offers people a place to stay if they need it and many friends have stayed on my sofas over the years.

I recently took a trip to Germany and did the AirBnB thing, which was great. The best times I had were when I met new people and did things. It's kinda intimidating going somewhere totally new and it's really great to have someone there who you know.

It is so inspiring to read everyone's profile on here and see that I'm not alone in my curiosity about the world...

Teach, Learn, Share

Ask me anything about cooking, I can probably help. Will happily share skills in the kitchen! I love baking and will gladly bake you cookies or brownies if ingredients are around!

Looking to learn more about photography as I am just learning how to use a DSLR camera.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook almost anything given the right equipment. I love baking and making treats to share! I am tidy and leave things better than I found them. I'm also hoping to go out and do fun things with people.
