About the host
Hosted by Bo King
Hi, I am a MD, PhD, currently, I am in clinical development and working on delivery powerful cancer medicines to patients' bedsides. My husband is a principal software engineer. We are hard workers and believe our efforts will make the world a better place. We are easygoing, caring, and always willing to help. We love to travel and enjoy the great outdoors: We are climbers, cyclists, and long-distance runners. Our favorite quote about travel:” Our destination is never a place, is instead a new way of seeing things.” As a wanderlust, I have lived and worked in 3 countries. We share our home because we hope to share our passion for exploring/experiencing new things/new places, and hope our place can give you a sense of home. Welcome!

The beautiful beams of a true log home are the icing on the cake.
