Medical student at UT Southwestern in Dallas, TX.

I love trying new things, traveling, and outdoor adventure sports. Last summer I spent 70 days Cycle touring in South America. The summer before I took a 2 and half month road trip around the US and Canada. I've been to 19 national parks in the US, living and working in Yellowstone two summers ago.

Discovering people's stories and conversing with individuals from diverse backgrounds is one of my favorite activities. I love outdoors sports and reading books. I'll try anything once.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Meeting and staying with locals is the most authentic way to learn about and appreciate new cultures while traveling. Couchsurfing lets you hear their people's perspectives and learn local spots to visit while traveling. Also, I'm a poor student and traveling can get expensive. I host travelers as a way of giving back, hearing stories and meeting new people.
