About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Creating a better today, THROUGH SCIENCE.

ABOUT ME

I run a pretty low-key, relaxed household where I do a lot of home cooking and often hold small social shindigs.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've done a lot more hosting than surfing over the years, but I love building up CouchSurfing karma!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Summer of 2010, I traveled SE Asia for a month. It was lovely.

Teach, Learn, Share

I will cook food for you. Delicious food. Often. Of all kinds; vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, etc. This, I can teach... this and anatomy, physiology and cytoskeletal mechanics. Also, I know where all the best places are to see the weirdest junk and the most interesting people.
