About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Championing Good while Eradicating Evil

ABOUT ME

Currently living in London England pursuing a PhD in Neurodevelopmental science, basically I do neuroimaging research in Autism. Have been described as a 'long stepper' ironically not because I have long legs and stand at 6'10" but for my love of long human powered journeys (hiking/biking). Looking forward to trying to solve some of the many mysteries of the brain through neuroimaging research and self contemplation.

PHILOSOPHY

Live life to expand your horizons, understanding, and scope of your perception

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love the ability to stay in new and exciting places with locals whom can share the culture of their home town with me.

I'm happy to host but my space is tight and I'm quite busy with my studies. Drop me a line but I apologize in advance if I can't host.
