I'm a medical student in New Orleans, Louisiana! I went to undergrad here back in the day, spent a year playing in a rock band here after college, then when to the Peace Corps in Mauritania, West Africa for several years, then decided to go to medical school (English major originally), so moved to NYC where my bro lived and where I took pre-med pre-reqs at night while working during the day, then I got into medical school in New Orleans so I got to come back.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm going on residency interviews this next few months all over the US, and I feel like this would be a great way to meet new people and get to know the different areas!
