I'm a 33 year old chemist, cinema lover, aspiring photographer, amateur chef, and wanderlust sufferer who is told he isn't nearly as awkward as other scientists. I just moved to Uppsala and am looking forward to getting acclimated to the Swedish way of things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Heard so many good things about this and I enjoy meeting locals from wherever I go, so I figured I'd give this a try.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A Ph.D. in Chemistry is no joke...

Teach, Learn, Share

The best element is Fluorine...hands down. Youtube "fluorine reactions", seriously, it's beautiful. Also google Nitrogen Triiodide, pretty fascinating stuff.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I consider myself someone who just enjoys being in the moment and making the best of any situations. If a night out just involves listening to local music at a bar with minimal conversation, I'm happy, if it involves a late night bender in a notoriously sketchy part of town ending with a sunrise before bed time, I'm happy as well.
