ABOUT ME

I am 30 years old. I graduated from college, served as a US Peace Corps volunteer for 2 years in the Fiji Islands, have traveled the world, and now live in New York City. I work as a medical clinician with people missing their limbs and help to make artificial limbs and get them back to a more independent and active life. I like meeting new people and learning about local food and culture.

PHILOSOPHY

It changes every day.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted individuals before when I lived in Fiji and I have surfed at other people's houses whilst traveling with a friend around Northeastern America.
