I have a debilitating case of wanderlust, which contradicts with my 40 hour a week job in a busy hospital! I get out the kinks by going outdoors, I especially love conifer forests and alpine mountains. I'm an amateur botanist, geologist and astronomer. Internationally I usually travel alone so I can meet more locals, but I m never opposed to traveling buddies. My last big trip was to Cambodia in 2008. In August I have 2 weeks in Ecuador: SCUBA diving the Galapagos Islands. In November I have 2 weeks in Chile!
