I'm taking a one year break from work after an intense few years working in a biotech startup. My girlfriend and I just returned from an overland trip across Asia, from Istanbul all the way to Beijing, via the -stans. It was an incredible trip and we were fortunate to meet some amazing hosts through Couchsurfing.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I'm still pretty new to Couchsurfing but I've had nothing but positive experiences. My current living situation doesn't allow me to host, but as soon as I'm in my own place and have the option I look forward to returning the favour.

兴趣

Rock climbing, motorbiking, movies, science and technology, economics-finance-currency, history, art, and lots and lots of other things. I'm a very curious person.

音乐、电影和书籍

Movies: lots and lots, but my favourites tend to be from the 70s, like The Network, or Phase IV (sci-fi)
Music: lots and lots of different things. I've got a few friends who are connoisseurs and I happily poach from them.
Books: read lots of scattered things, lately a lot on economics, anthropology

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I've been to Timbuktu. It's... sandy.

教，学，和分享

I was co-founder and head of engineering of a biotech company for seven years. We developed some really high-tech tools to detect mutated DNA in blood for the purpose of early cancer detection. If you're interested in biotech, science, entrepreneurship, etc, there are lots of interesting stories and I've been told that I'm good at explaining complicated science-y things :)

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I like to think I'm quite practical and can help out around the house (cleaning/cooking/fixing things). Other than that, just having fun and hopefully I can return the favour if you come to Vancouver.
