CURRENT MISSION

Getting through school so that I can travel again

ABOUT ME

I am currently a medical student in Roanoke, VA. I took a year off between undergrad and medical school to travel the world. It was the most fun I've ever had and I learned more than I did in my many years of school. So while I spend a lot time in the library now, I wish I was still traveling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I currently live in a quasi-retirement home with multiple layers of security and roommates who are not excited about CS, so I cannot host people. I am, however, willing to meet up with people in Roanoke and show them around or socialize.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I tried to CS a few times when I was traveling but all of my requests were at the last second so I was not able to get any of them to workout, but I will try again the next time I travel.

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

Books about saving the world and/or environment. Scifi like Ender's game, Some fantasy. 1984, animal farm, brave new world, kite runner, many others that I am neglecting.

Music: pretty much anything.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled around South America by myself and Asia with a friend. I met some amazing people and saw unique and facinating places. Now I am in medical school and learning interesting things, but it is a little different than traveling.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am learning a lot about medicine (as a medical student), I know some about nutrition.

I am always open to learning about new things, so any skills that other people have would be interesting.
