I am a medical student, longing for the days of old when I had all the time in the world to just get in my car and go where ever my heart desired. I love being outside and active. I also enjoy eating and sharing good food--even better when it's outside after a long day of hiking or climbing. My favorite memories usually involve a campfire, good friends, and few opportunities to shower. Now I'm just looking to make the most of my time, exploring new places before my school and training take over my life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I don't get to travel as much as I used to, but I enjoy meeting people on their travels and hearing their stories. When I do travel, it's on a tight budget, so I also like to help out others like me when I can!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love movies that make you think or cry, music that makes you move, and books with lots of pictures.
