Received a degree in International Studies from the University of Denver and I decided to take a gap year prior to starting medical school.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I will be starting medical school in August and I'd like to see a bit of the world prior to going back to school for the foreseeable future. I enjoy making local connections and having conversations with strangers, so the combination of new friendships and economical travel arrangements appeals to me.
