I'm a scientist, humanitarian, and explorer! I finished my PhD this year so I'm spending some time traveling the world, summiting my "bucket list" mountains, and learning about how other people see things.

How I CouchSurf - I do NOT use CS as a hookup app. I'm here to meet quality souls with an interesting backstory :)
