I'm an easy going biologist, currently working in Canada, but trying to visit as many places round the world as I can.

I'm very active, I enjoy swimming (sea, rivers and pools) rowing, kayaking, boxing, walking and camping.

Suggest an idea for something to do and I'm generally up for it, even bad experiences can turn into great stories!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Seems an excellent way to see different parts of the world and met new people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent a month working with other biologists from Europe and Africa in Uganda. Ended up getting a serious lung infection from a bat-infested hollow tree and spent 3 days in intensive car once back in the UK. 4-5 other people got it as well so we spent our time in hospital emailing each other to see what our doctors were saying.
