Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I will be travelling a great deal in the next three years due to research commitments. This means that I will have limited opportunities to host people. But when I am back in my base in Bangor (North Wales) I would most certainly host people.
As I will be travelling a lot, these 3 years will see me couching with a lot of people and experience different homes :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet because I am very NEW!

Interests

I am a conservationist (environmental conservation)& forest conservation to be exact. I love the outdoor and work ideally requires me to live in the tropical forest most of the time. I have had the opportunity to travel to many tropical forests in countries and meet amazing communities living in those areas.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One has to be the 1st time a mother Green Turtle came crawled up towards me on a nesting beach on Redang Island in Malaysia. The feeling of this prehistoric creature beside me was humbling.

The second must have been when I was watching the sun rise on Machu Picchu (Peru). The beauty of the sunrise and my presence in Machu Picchu was breath taking.
