CURRENT MISSION

Saving th sea turtles of Chania...

ABOUT ME

I'm 29, from Gourock (near Glasgow) and currently travelling in Greece. At the moment I'm working with sea turtles for Archelon; previous to that I worked for the Forestry Commission, volunteered for Loch Lomond National Park, and worked as a cajovnik in a tea house in Glasgow. I was getting slightly bored in Glasgow and decided to throw my arms around the world again. I'm loving my time in Crete at the moment; heading to Athens soon, then Spain via Italy and some other places. I love funk and soul music, I love to sing, dance and tell terrible jokes, and I love to find the beauty in everything and everyone, cheesy as it is:)

PHILOSOPHY

You get what you give.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have 15 minutes til I need to work. This will be updated soon! Mind you, that preying mantis was pretty cool. It was at Anidri, Crete. And the view from Profitis Ilias over the White Mountains, over villages and over the sea to Gavdos was ace as well. But that was just yesterday. Will add more soon!
