26 year old outdoor fanatic, adventurer, animal lover, art and history lover, who enjoys experiencing new cultures, religions and ways of life and meet interesting people. Currently taking a gap from working as a doctor to travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet people from different walks of life and be introduced to ways of seeing things that I had never thought of before. This is also partly why I love the medical field - you are able to interact and help people from every part of society and be humbled every day by their stories.

I think that the best way to truly experience a new country when travelling is by getting to know the people who live there and getting a taste of their culture and way of life. It is definitely the conversations one has, the connections one makes and the adventures shared with others that make for the most lasting and life-changing memories.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - pretty much everything
Movies - very into Wes Anderson at the moment
Books - A variety! Some of my favourites include Gerald Durrel's Books about growing up as a child in Corfu and Sylvia Plath's 'The Bell Jar'

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Overnight hike of a dormant Volcano in Lombok, Indonesia.
Worked for a year as a doctor in a small hospital in rural South Africa.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am keen on sharing ideas and creative, thought-provoking conversation!

I am always eager to learn about local wildlife and plants, the culture and the history of the place I am in - particularly the architectural and healthcare and conservation aspects.
