Howdy, I'm Jay! Thanks for checking out my profile :)

I'm just your friendly, down-to-earth, laid back, and chill guy looking to meet, connect, and hang out with cool, interesting, fun people from all around the world and hopefully make new friends.

Graduated Yale a few years ago, and have since traveled around the world and made countless friendships and hope to continue to do so and keep in touch with the beautiful souls I've been fortunate enough to meet over the years. Am currently a physician-in-training, an entrepreneur, writer, and coach/consultant in writing and storytelling.

Love exploring the world, going on adventures, and sharing experiences with others.

I'm also gay and looking to meet and make friends with other guys who can introduce me to their world and new experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have connected with the hearts, minds, and souls of so many incredible people around the world over the years and find tremendous beauty, value, and meaning in those relationships. I wish to continue to meet people from completely different worlds with vastly different lives who are interested in the same as a way of getting closer to the world around me and the people who live in it :)
