CURRENT MISSION

a year-long solo trip around the world to study fungus

ABOUT ME

I'm on a year-long journey (August 2014-August 2015) to study mycology in a human and ecological context.
The trip has taken me to Southeast Asia (Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia), Southern Africa (South Africa, Namibia), parts of Europe (UK, the Netherlands, likely other places), and it will take me to Central/South America (Costa Rica, Ecuador, likely other places).
