Ecologist and conservationist taking a break from work this year to cycle around some of Europe. If I can get to Budapest and back without flying I’ll be very pleased! Love animals and I’ll miss my cat, Eva, who is being looked after while I’m away.

Live with coeliacs so this journey will be a gluten free challenge.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a way to meet people while I travel solo, and later this year to host travellers in Belfast
