CURRENT MISSION

To learn to live a full and happy life

ABOUT ME

Hola! I am a quirky medical student pursuing a career in forensic pathology. My curiosity and love of learning drive much of what I do. I enjoy good food, good friends, and good reads. I'm new to San Francisco but have made some awesome discoveries that I would love to share and would enjoy making new ones with surfers too.

PHILOSOPHY

"Do what you love and fuck the rest." - LMS

"The only person you should try to be better than... is the person you were yesterday."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I have a break in school I will definitely try to surf, but for now I am offering my place for surfers willing to tell me stories of their travels

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It has been an awesome experience! The surfers I have hosted so far have all been very friendly and respectful. It's so fun to hear about everyone's backgrounds and travels.
