ABOUT ME

i'm a wanderer by nature but trying to stick it out through an md/phd program in community health and preventive medicine.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The circuit trail in Torres del Paine, Chile. In one section of the trail, you slowly summit the main pass, a desolate, blustry and rocky path. With each step, these gigantic grey peaks begin to rise above thick white clouds that blur with the most beautiful glacier i have ever seen. Experiencing this view literally takes your breath away.
