I'm originally from the UK, but now living and working in the south of France. I work in the middle of the Camargue, but usually stuck in an office writing about wetland conservation. Interested in all sorts of environmental and conservation issues.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to experience the 'real' side of places I visit. I want to get away from the touristy hotels and share stories and experiences with local people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed a snow-capped active volcano in Chile: think crampons, ice axes, altitude, smoking crater...

What I Can Share with Hosts

My sense of humour?! I'm a native English speaker so maybe I can teach you some handy phrases. If I can, I'll bring some French wine/food from my current home. I'm also very good at making friends with pets, so I can keep them occupied for a while!
