A caribbean medical student jumping through hoops to earn my MD and a residency in California.

I am a very easy going and laid back person and love to meet new people. I am really sarcastic and don't take anything personally or too seriously. I love activities of all types, athletic or otherwise, crave novelty, excitement and fun.

I was born and raised in Lake Tahoe, lived in Napa and studied in Berkeley and I feel each place helped to shape who I am. I must see trees and hear birds on the daily but enjoy the culture and music of city life! If I have to be inside I would prefer it was an aqaurium or musuem

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a journey and not a destination. Do something that scares you everyday. Live and let live. Treat others how you would like to be treated.

all good sayings.

The older I get the more simple life gets. I know what I like, I know what I don't and mostly just want to have fun. Working towards dreams, pushing the limits and never giving up is really important to me. Shaping the reality of your life into what you want... not good at this whole philosophy thing. when in doubt, climb/dance it out never fails.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Every hard climb and mountain ascent takes my breath away. But I have so much I want to do and see.... Bali was one of the most amazing places I have ever been. Dropping my first head high wave on a short board while staring at a hindu temple on the beach, in paradise.
