Walking the Quilotoa loop in Ecuador and camping in the crater - waking up with the sun right next to the lagoon. Seeing a herd of wild ponies galloping across the fields with Cotopaxi in the background. Sitting in a bird reserve, sheltering in the hide from the driving rain. A bolt of lightening hit the ground right in front of the shelter, sending hundreds of birds out of nowhere up into the air, frenzied - before they settled back down and disappeared from sight once more. Sitting on some rocks with sea all around me, in a bay on the west coast of Scotland, not a soul around. I was sipping whisky and watching the sunset when an otter appeared, swimming and hunting just a few metres away.

I like meeting people who are interested in nature and would be able to share knowledge about wild things - I especially love birds and would like to learn more about them. I don't know what I could offer - I could teach you a little Welsh if you like.
