About Me

Just another juvenile living being, injected with a novel migratory wanderlust strain, dispersing among interpreted dreams!

On a more serious note: a wildlife researcher and conservationist working to help protect endangered species like fishing cats (https://www.fishingcatconservancy.org/) and their globally important wetland and mangrove habitat.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To travel the world, learn, and help local and global communities protect their backyard wildlife and natural resources

Music, Movies, and Books

Folk, and regional/native music that stems from locally-made instruments;
I also play the bass guitar, acoustic guitar, and a little bit of the keys.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Rescued a dog from drowning

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to study and protect wildlife in your backyard and anything else about nature that you'd like to learn; I would love to learn from you (my host) anything that you'd like to teach me; I will share all my knowledge with you and help with the work you'd like me to do.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories from my life and my skills to entertain you - my work on wildlife around the world, playing the guitar for you and going on a wild animal/bird watching hike with you.

I will, of course, use the best of my housekeeping abilities to help with your chores ;)

In general, I also love to share ideas to problem solve and do my best to help make this planet a better place!
