About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Spending my last month of freedom before med school in Brazil

ABOUT ME

I started traveling while spending a year studying Psychology in Barcelona, which is where I learned to speak Spanish and siesta properly. Since then I have traveled through most of western Europe, Morocco and Senegal, and Hong Kong where I stayed with relatives who were mostly confused by my appearance and inability to speak Cantonese.

I'm a considerate, responsible person who laughs often and knows how to have a good time. I really care about improving health access for people whose healthcare sucks, which is why I want to be a doctor and help people. Before that happens, I am traveling through Brazil looking to meet new people for fun and adventure.

PHILOSOPHY

We are all here for a good time but not for a long time. Find and nurture your passion. Don't be a douchebag--also my political position. Everything in moderation including moderation. Bad decisions make good stories. And Don't use cliches to describe your personal philosophy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My account was dormant for a few years but in that time I have hosted couchsurfers by helping my friends and taking a few couchsurfers off their hands. I have also couchsurfed in Spain.
