I'm a PhD student at UW's school of public health and relatively new to Seattle. Loving it so far! I haven't had a the chance to engage in the regional obsessions yet (hiking, camping, etc.), but I know where the city's best dive bars can be found.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been couch surfing for decades! This is a relatively new profile, but I love easy and cheap travel and meeting new folks who care about their communities.

Interests

I'm a public health professional and an LA Dodgers fan.

• humanities
• baseball
• philosophy
• public health

Music, Movies, and Books

Man, it's always really really hard for me to do this type of list. So what you see here is limited, mostly by my attention span, but also by a conviction that talking about books and music and movies is way way more fun that typing about that.

I am currently digging books by:
Paul Scott, James Orbinski, Graham Greene, Patrick O'Brian, Michael Chabon, Jose Saramago, lots of others

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living with a Senegalese host family for two years completely changed the way I think about every human relationship: friends, family, all of it.

Chile, Czech Republic, India

Countries I’ve Lived In
