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...
