I currently work in Public Health, and my work takes me all over the world. I reside at sea most of the year, which gives me the structure and routine I require.

I enjoy reading especially topics on Politics, Feminism and Science, so I am looking for someone with the ability to hold conversation on a variety of topics and interests.
