About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get as many good stories as possible

ABOUT ME

I recently finished up my PhD at UBC in Vancouver in medical research and have moved down to California to continue research. In between research projects I try to do as much travelling as possible.

I'm very laidback, but would like to say I'm pretty reliable. I can definitely be relied on for being up for an adventure or a night out.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't do what you think you're suppose to do, do what you enjoy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've had some great adventures across the USA with couchsurfing and met some fantastic people. I'd like to expand further.

Interests

Concerts (mostly rock, but I wouldn't say no to some classical), reading biographies of other people that have had crazy lives, listening to trashy dance music, dancing to trashy dance music.
