I am lucky enough to do my life's work -- teaching biology, physiology, and nutrition in downtown Seattle. Moreover, I have survived several health scares and am able to continue what I was born to do -- a reminder to *always* take advantage of every moment. I am similarly blessed in that I am married to my favorite travel companion, whose response to my wacky travel ideas is always, "OK, when?"
I also make silly physiology raps for my students. Be yourself -- everyone else is taken!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Life is all about meeting others and learning from them, whether traveling or in one's own hometown. Let's chat!
