CURRENT MISSION

Explore, learn, find freedom.

ABOUT ME

I just graduated from Duke University with a degree in Biology and am currently working at my first real job doing research at the New York University Medical Center. In the long term, I'm planning to pursue a career in medicine, but for now I'm taking 2 years off from school to explore life, grow, learn, have fun, travel, meet cool people, and have time to myself to do all the things I don't have time for in school like learning how to cook, read for fun, go to concerts, play guitar, sit in the park and just enjoy life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm brand new to CouchSurfing and planning a backpacking trip through Europe in July (2011) and hoping to meet some great people through CouchSurfing during the trip. Due to my current living situation in NYC I am not able to host, but hopefully I will in the future when my circumstances change.
