I'm a recent college grad who loves to be challenged and experience new things. I am a huge fan of any activity/sport that requires me to move around and use my body. I was a Track and Field athlete in college, currently play in a local men's soccer league and teach Taekwondo on the weekends in between studying for the MCAT.

When meeting new people, I look for tolerance, honesty, and above all respect, and try to exemplify these qualities in my interactions with others. I'm always game to to try new food, go new places, and meet new and interesting people.

Overall I'm a friendly, easy going, person who enjoys good company and good vibes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Starting in early October I will be moving to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia to live with family and intern at a local health care clinic. On the way, I will be visiting family and friends in Ohio, Austria, Germany and Holland. I recently hosted friends of a friend who were frequent couch surfers and suggested I check out the website. Looking to take advantage of this awesome concept during my travels!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watched the sunset from an island in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Tanzania with three of my closest friends from college.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love a host that wouldn't mind sharing some of the local sights and places to visit with me, or who could suggest cool things to do in the area. Or good places to eat!
