CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldy go where no one has gone before! :) If you don't like Star Trek, maybe that sounds strange, but it about sums things up!

ABOUT ME

I love science, food and travel almost equally. Someday I'll find a way to combine them! In the meantime, I take whatever opportunity I can to travel and learn new languages while slaving away in a laboratory most winters. I love meeting new people from all over the world.

PHILOSOPHY

To never have any regrets and treat people with as much kindness as humanly possible

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Alhambra, smoke rising from the ground in volcanoes in Antigua, Guatemalan coffee that tastes like juice, swimming in a cenote in Mexico, trekking into isolated villages in the Ladakhi Himalayas, eating black caviar and champagne at the Bolshoi theatre in Moscow (not to mention the ballet :), (oops, I just realized this said ONE amazing thing, but I can't narrow it down! )

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy kind, thoughtful, open-minded people who are worldly and engaged with making the world a better place.
