CURRENT MISSION

applying to med school

ABOUT ME

I run and swim. I play music. I've been thinking about becoming a medical doctor.

PHILOSOPHY

I have a strong internal compass regarding what is right and good, and acting in accordance with this sense of goodness is my first priority. This facilitates my own happiness but does not assure it. I have to take part in many creative endeavors and produce results that please me in order to be happy. It has taken me 24 years to figure this out.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I lived with two members of CS for the last five months. We had at least five groups come through. All of them seemed happy with our accommodations. When I get established in Puerto Rico, I'll open my door to friends and strangers alike.

I like the low-key approach. No entertaining necessary.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I walked around an island in Japan and experienced the unconditional goodness coming from the hearts of those bearing gifts.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a lot about running and running related injuries. I can design a workout plan for you, can cure your ailments via massage and stretching, and can give you a logical explanation for everything I tell you to do. I have many strange cosmological ideas and speculations regarding the future. I'll tell you about them if I think you really want to know.
