About Me

Conservation biologist originally from Manchester, UK. Currently in Berlin studying for a PHD, studying reptiles and amphibians in Borneo.

Well I studied zoology at uni a few years ago and have since been working and volunteering with various international conservation\research projects.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've known about couchsurfing for a while now but have never got involved. One of my good friends Nir who I met in central america told me how his time couchsurfing was one of the highlights of his trip. I also spent most weeks in Leeds at the couchsurfing weekly meeting and met some crackin folks. Now that i'm back and forth between the UK, Berlin and Asia, I thought it was as good a time as any to get involved!

Interests

Field research and conservation work, travel, cooking, drawing, stumbling through jungles looking for reptiles and pretending that I'm Indiana Jones.
