Hey, I am Taylor! I have been working as a medical scientist (primarily in molecular genetics) for the past 5 years however I recently quit to allow me to travel the world for about a year. I have also recently started my first business online with the hope that it can support my travels for a longer period.

Very easy going, but also energetic and always keen to see something new and step off the beaten track. I am also very curious and love to learn new things, especially from people who are passionate about the topic. I consider open mindedness an important virtue and try to give almost everything a go at least once.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One of my favourite things is finding out more about cultures completely different to my own - where people are from, their daily life, their passions and importantly their food!

Unfortunately since I am traveling I will not be able to host for the moment.
