I am an physician and lifelong CouchSurfing devotee. I not only met my wife through CouchSurfing, but the majority of the best experiences in my life were facilitated through the incredible people that comprise the CouchSurfing community!

PHILOSOPHY
1.) "The inspiring thing about scrambled eggs is that any way you turn them, they're always sunny side up."
2.) To help others, you must first help yourself.
3.) "There exists a false aristocracy based on family name, property, and inherited wealth. But there likewise exists a true aristocracy based on intelligence, talent and virtue." - Jefferson
