About Me

CURRENT MISSION

living life to its fullest!!

ABOUT ME

I was born in Northeast Philadlephia and moved to Virginia when I was 5. Ever since I could remember I've had this urge to travel and see EVERYTHING!! I figured...what better time than now to do that!! So i'm off for a while to experience and see as much as I possibly can!! I am open to suggestions of places to see and things to do!!

PHILOSOPHY

come what may and love it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have taken a hiatus from traveling so I can develop my career in medicine. I am a resident in Family Medicine in Salt Lake City, UT. My schedule is very chaotic and I have long hours at work. I may not be super available to host but will do my best! :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have stayed at a couple of different places while in Europe and I loved the experiences!! I really enjoy getting to know a city by getting to know the locals. I try to stay with locals wherever I go!

Interests

scuba diving, sky diving, bungee jumping...I'm a bit of an adrenaline junkie...but I also enjoy long walks on the beach and a great art museum ;)

Music, Movies, and Books

I love a good romantic comedy! Leap Year is one of my favorites! I listen to pretty much any music and can appreciate all kinds of music. I like reading more non-fiction books and autobiographies that take an interesting perspective in writing them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I recently had the opportunity to travel around Europe for a while. I had the opportunity of being in Barcelona, Spain during the World Cup Final. It was COMPLETE chaos when Spain won!! I LOVED every minute of it!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have taught anatomy at BYU for three years and love it when people ask me anatomy/physiology/medical related questions! Although I don't know everything about the subjects I always love learning about them!!
