My name is David Charles Kurtmen, but my friends call me Dave. I was born in Santa Cruz, California in 1987. I am currently in medical school at St. George's University. I graduated from the University of California at Santa Barbara in 2011 with a B.S. in Biology. While in college I played lacrosse and served as a course assistant for one of the most popular courses at my university. My dream is to become a doctor and work internationally towards improving healthcare in the developing world. I am a passionate adventurer and traveler.

Coming home


I'm coming home.

Yesterday I cut my hair, that might seem like an odd thing to remark on, but at the time, it seemed a tangible representation of the time that has passed. I left home 53 days ago to find myself and to try to make a small impact on this world.
It is hard for me to reflect on what has changed in me, maybe after I return and the culture shock has worn off, I will find myself much the same as I left, only time will tell.
Tonight I am headed back into Karatu to spend my last couple nights before coming home.
I will be getting home tuesday afternoon.
