Hi! My name is Travis, and I am from Huntington, WV. I am very interested in global health equity, and I will be studying for a Master's of Public Health in Global Health Management & Policy at the University of Michigan starting this fall.

Aside from my career goals, my life goals are to go on crazy adventures, explore the world, and make lifelong friendships at all of the places I go. I love making friends through travel, because I think it is an incredible way to learn how other people see the world and experience new places with a local's perspective -- I am so thankful that achieving these goals will be much easier with CS!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
