Open-minded PhD student in oncology who really likes walking, hiking or climbing, bicycling, skitouring, being outdoors in general. Actually, I would even consider myself an outdoor fitnessfreak, without getting too freaky. Usually I combine these activities with collecting minerals and gems, a quite unusual hobby nowadays.
