About Me

***I can't host Friday or Saturday nights***

I'm an urban primatologist - e.g. I study monkeys living in cities! I work on genetics and ranging patterns (GPS collars)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd rather spend my money taking a host out to dinner than on housing fees! Always love to hear tips about where I'm traveling.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When a cab driver in Cameron Highlands helped my friend Elizabeth and I chase down and catch the bus we missed so we wouldn't miss the rest of our connections!

The first time I saw footage from the camera collars we deployed on my monkeys.

Snorkeling for the first time in Hanuma Bay - I LOVE to snorkel

That cuttlefish I saw scuba diving in Tioman!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you all about monkeys! And a decent amount about the underappreciated gems in Singapore.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A good meal!
