CURRENT MISSION

To give more than I take.

ABOUT ME

With parents involved in conservation, I lived in some beautiful, earthy places around Africa. I went to boarding school in South Africa and spent my holidays exploring barefoot and learning. After finishing school, I took two years to travel and work. I found myself in Vietnam working with bears, travelling India on a motorbike, taming horses in Argentina, among other things. I studied Conservation Ecology and Psychology at Stellenbosch University and then spent a year doing research on killer-whales and seals on Marion Island in the Sub-Antarctic. I am currently doing an MSc in Conservation Science at Imperial College London.

PHILOSOPHY

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently based in the UK, I am unable to host but am happy to meet up for a drink or meal.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was introduced to Couchsurfing by somebody I met in Viet Nam. Since then, I have hosted and been hosted myself and have met some amazing and interesting people in doing so.
