I am currently a Sous chef but have held many jobs including stem cell research and microbiology professor. I enjoy meeting new people and am looking forward to traveling more going forward.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am planning to travel throughout Europe starting in September of 2015. I had good experiences hosting while in Portland so I am excited to meet new hosts going forward

Interests

Cooking is one of my true passions. I also homebrew beer, mead, kombucha so fermentation is another love. I also keep in shape by running, cycling, and will try just about any hike.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy most any kind of music. I do love country, and rock just no pop. I like action and suspense in the movies I watch. I also enjoy documentaries when the subject is interesting.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Quit my job, sold my house, moved across the country and got my culinary degree. Doing something that you're passionate about is never a bad idea
