I am a Public Health physician and have travelled extensively in the past, having visited such places as the South Pacific, Africa, Europe and Latin America. I have an extensive background in scientific projects and the conduct of epidemiologic studies especially in infectious disease including tropical diseases. Therefore am interested in medical and scientific sites as well as artistic and culturally interesting, unusual sites, primarily in proximity to New York, but am willing to travel greater distances, even internationally, so would not rule any possibility out. I particularly enjoy the challenge of Atlas Obscura.
