ABOUT ME

Describing me... I'm a chemist, photographer, world adventurer and more, all rolled into one! I'm kinda nerdy (love education, learning new things, am constantly reading), love good conversation and get as much out of life as I possibly can. I love to travel and experience the world in its splendor, especially the outdoors.

I'm laid-back, easygoing, enjoy meeting people and finding new places. A good meal is divine, and I love backpacking, hiking, kayaking, I study kung-fu and am an avid biker. I love soccer, which is my favorite sport in the world. There's much more to me than I can fit in this tiny space, so I will leave it at that, with an open invitation to all to come and meet more of me...
