CURRENT MISSION

Save the world, one appendectomy at a time!

ABOUT ME

Uh...
I talk to much when I'm nervous. I come across as opinionated. But I blame my parents for that, after all we can blame our parents for pretty much anything wrong with us.
I come from a very large, loud family. If you didn't speak up early, often and loud you were never heard. I'm pretty flexible though so if I don't get my own way I'm fine with it.
I LOVE to discuss ideas. I've been known to espouse and defend opinions I don't believe in, just for the sake of argument.
I'm a third year surgery resident. Which means my couch is always open but you may come and go without meeting me because I am hardly ever home.

PHILOSOPHY

I have all the right answers to all the wrong questions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Spare room with an air mattress.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One person has stayed at my house. I was on call. When I got home everything of value was still there. Of course, the only possession I have that I value is my grandfather clock and that would be a little heavy for one person to carry off...
