I grew up in South West England in the Dartmoor National Park. I have just finished a Masters degree in Bangor, North Wales studying snake evolution. In my free time I enjoy hiking, particularly up mountains in Snowdonia.
I also enjoy travelling, particularly in search of reptiles and amphibians.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After finishing my Masters degree I am travelling with my partner Greg from Guatemala to Panama over a rough timescale of 8 months. We plan to explore the countries, learn Spanish, participate in workaways, volunteer projects and of course, adventure!
I want to use couchsurfing to find friends to stay with and learn about the local culture and wildlife.
