About Me

CURRENT MISSION

enjoy life to its fullest!!

ABOUT ME

I am 32 yo male born and raised in L.A, California. I miss that southern california weather!! When I was 12, I moved to Phoenix, Arizona with my dad where I finished highscool and spent another 5 yrs at Arizona State University. Time of life!! Such good experiences, I took two more years off and became a personal trainer during the day and bartended at night. Dang, I miss those days! Lots of good times and not to much responsibility. At 25, I decided to go to medical school...and i really don't remember those 4 yrs i spent there cause I didn't do anything but read.
At 31, I moved to Miami, Florida where I worked as an intern and again had an awesome time on South Beach for one year. Highly recommend to live there once in your life. After that year, I started a 3 yr residency in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation in new York (again) where I am currently a 3rd year resident with one more yar to go and am currently applying for a one year sports and spine fellowship in many different states in the country. And that's what brings me here today!!!

PHILOSOPHY

Don't count the days, Make the days count!!!!!
Seize the moment!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Although I am a physician, I am well in debt and making next to nothing in salary compared to the hours I work. I am currently surfing on my friends couch for the past 2 months and don't mind the experience at all. I have never surfed on others people couches but would love to give it a try. I have always been a free spirit and have allowed friends to crash at my place or on my couch when I was in college. I believe in paying it forward.

Interests

salsa dancing, meditation, traveling, baseball, soccer, reading, beach activities, hanging out in NYC when its warm!!! oh and I like different types of beers. Im going to Mexico in two weeks (puerto Penasco, south of Arizona). I look forward to drinking coronas on the beach.
