ABOUT ME

My first travelling experience was when I was 18 around Thailand, Laos and Cambodia. I loved it so the next year I spent five months in south America, both trips with my good friend Will. I have also hitch-hiked around Europe for charity, spent two months in India and a month in Vietnam.

When I completed my degree in zoology I travelled to Madagascar to work as a research assistant studying the greater bamboo lemur. I lived in a tent in the rainforest for four months which was both one of the most difficult and amazing things I've ever done. I then spent the rest of the year in Colombia, working and travelling.

I have just completed a masters in Wild Animal Biology which was absolutely amazing. I now live in south London I have spent a couple of years looking after nature reserves, and I’ve just started a new job restoring old orchards around the capital.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have done some couchsurfing when travelling in Colombia and I was amazed by the hospitality of our hosts.

We've hosted a few people in London and I really enjoy getting to know people from all over the world.
