Self-confessed plant geek and a nature lover who loves to travel :-). I am a PhD student who surprise surprise studies plants! When I am not at my computer coding, I like to get out for a walk and take pictures of the beautiful nature.

In between my studies, I have worked in schools and I ran my own science and gardening clubs. When I get a chance, I visit schools and run environmental education sessions.

(Sorry can't currently host as I have moved back to my family's home and there is not enough space!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet new people and hear their life stories :-)

When I travel I always take my recipe book and I love exchanging yummy recipes from around the world with people I meet!

I also want to interview people around the world about their thoughts about nature in my project www.humannaturestories.com
