Overview
About Me
I'm trying to travel as much as possible and immerse myself in the local culture. I love exploring cities, but my true passion lies in the mountains. I love any type of activity in the mountains, whether its hiking, camping, climbing, or skiing.
I quit my job as a genetics researcher to get out of the lab and into the world. Currently I am backpacking through Europe and trying to eat as much as possible.
One of my favorite quotes is:
"I always wonder why birds choose to stay in the same place when they can fly anywhere on the earth, then I ask myself the same question."
- Harun Yahya

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Fought 80+ mph winds during a 25 mile winter presidential traverse in the white mountains, it was difficult to stand up, my goggles were completely frosted over, almost no visibility and all of our water had frozen solid.
