TL;DR: Architect (nearly!) from the UK. Love the outdoors, nature, travel, volunteering abroad and meeting new people from different cultures, hearing their stories, hiking to cool places.

Hi, I'm Barney, nice to meet you.

I'm currently a postgraduate architecture student (I worked in London before). I love to travel, and meet new people along the way, experiencing different cultures. Outdoor activities are the BEST so let me know if you want to go on a day hike somewhere. Or just a chat over coffee or some beers. I like to keep things clean and tidy and would expect the same from someone I host please :-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived in a hut on an uninhabited island in the Seychelles for 2 months collecting data on the endangered magpie robin - alongside a biologist, several giant tortoises, thousands of lizards, and millions of mosquitoes!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have undertaken several volunteer placements teaching English, so if you are looking to improve your English I would be happy to help! Also, I like to learn greetings in new languages - please teach me!
