About Me

I am a recent neuroscience graduate with a special interest in psychedelic therapy to treat addiction, depression, PTSD and anxiety disorders.

After living in Sydney for a year and travelling through South-East Asia for 6 months I am back in my little home country.

Since I can't travel much at the moment, I will let the travelers come to me!

CURRENT MISSION

1. Integrate psychedelics into mainstream society by opening up a science-based discussion about the use of psychedelics;
2. Building a big, global network of friends!

PHILOSOPHY

"When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. That's my religion. "
