I am a veterinarian originally from New York but have lived all over the USA. I am currently completing a residency in veterinary neurology/neurosurgery.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm couchsurfing because I love traveling, experiencing world cultures, and meeting new people. I feel Couchsurfing gives me an amazing opportunity to gain a better appreciation and understanding of other countries and cultures by getting a chance to meet the real people who live there.
