CURRENT MISSION

To make the world a better place. I feel blessed for what I've received and thus feel a duty and commitment to helping others however/when I can. My objective in life is to provide others with the tools and knowledge to improve their long-term health and well-being. My dream is to pursue medicine.

Flash forward 3 years and I’m currently a medical student in the states, pursuing my dreams!

ABOUT ME

I love traveling, meeting new people, going out, enjoying myself, and trying new things. I'm very spontaneous, outgoing, but I also like to devote time to myself and spend time discovering myself. I enjoy reading, learning new things, exercising (especially lifting weights!), dancing salsa and learning about nutrition and natural medicine.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I love to meet open-minded, cultured and modest individuals who enjoy traveling AKA Couchsurfers. It's difficult to meet individuals who embody the couchsurfing persona on the East coast. I love learning something from and broadening my perspective with individuals from different cultural and ethnic backgrounds.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1. Hiking up Macchu Picchu--was so breathtaking and just utterly amazing. It's just 1.5 hours and recommend it to anyone. It's not as hard as it sounds. I would try to get mildly in shape a few weeks ahead!

2. Parasailing in the Canary islands--was so liberating.

Teach, Learn, Share

Appreciate both the good and the bad in your life. As Rumi says, “Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.”

The bad experiences are what teach you character and the best insights for your life. ;)
