I work in wildlife conservation (in the past for NGOs). I am originally from Leeds (in the north of England) but have lived in London for the last few years and it is where I would call home. I am travelling South America at the moment although currently basing myself out of Buenos Aires to learn more of the language.

I'm enthusiastic, easy going and love learning.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I left my job in London to discover the delights of South America, learn the language and hopefully see some wildlife here. I spent four weeks intensively learning spanish in Buenos Aires and will be in South America moving around until at least late June 2015. I love meeting local people and I would love to practice spanish/castellano with locals.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am very sociable and like to be around people so the most amazing thing I managed to do was to live for 6 weeks almost alone in the rainforest to study two endangered species of frog in Belize (for my Masters research).
