Hi! I'm Claire, and I'm a neuroscientist-turned-financial consultant living and working in Boston with my boyfriend who is from Denmark. Originally I'm from Michigan in te U.S. I am a hiker, nature lover, music-loving saxophone player, dancer, and photography enthusiast. I love to stay active, and am enthusiastic about entrepreneurship, diplomacy, science, public health, and living life to the fullest through seeing the world. I am looking forward to learning even more about myself and others with my future travels! "Life is a journey, enjoy it!"
