PhD candidate at ETH. Former graduate student in Geophysics at the University of Iceland and research assistant on Svalbard.
I enjoy living in remote, cold and harsh places.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Mainly to see the different perspective of a country rather than just going to the tourist attractions in the capital cities.

Interests

Besides geology I have always been oddly interested in politics and history. I'm especially interested in strange countries you never hear something about.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share
