About Me

I don't find myself on CS'ing that often as I'm not traveling as much as I did in the past, but still a firm believer in the mission and vision of this website. I recently finished my residency in Emergency Medicine and work as an ER doctor in Salt Lake City, Utah and Las Vegas, Nevada. I previously lived in Korea for a year and Italy for almost 4 years.

CURRENT MISSION

Leave this world slightly better than I found it.

ABOUT ME

Constantly curious, frequently restless, and overwhelmingly blessed.

I fear boring you with details that you may or may not find interesting or relevant. I used to be very active on CSing, not as much anymore. But try me...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

To host and be hosted. To learn from others and leave this world slightly better than I found it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Stayed with some great people in breckenridge, colorado. The snowboarding wasn't half bad either.

CS'ed 9 nights in Japan at 4 different spots.

CS'ed in Davis and San Fran while looking for a place to live in Cali. Hosted several people while in CA. Looking forward to hosting more in Korea.

Took a long hiatus...

Interests

My interests tend to be both broad and unrelated. some of my strongest inklings:

Climbing, snowboarding/skiing/touring, mountaineering, a little MTB'ing, sand volleyball, college football

Lived abroad x 5 years (Korea x 1 and Italy x 4)

Running with the bulls in Pamplona, Spain. Read "The Sun Also Rises" by Hemingway for a taste

Learning to surf in Nica was pretty cool as well.

Aside from that, I try to never let a splendid sunset go unnoticed...
