Hello there. Let's see. I live and love to travel and experience new places. But really experience them. I'm currently living and volunteering as a research assistant in Botswana and will be for the better part of the next year. I've just finished working in the Ethiopian highlands studying gelada monkeys.

When I'm back home, I love adventuring and doing fun things like skydiving and slacklining and hiking and camping. Outdoors is where I wanna be.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing seems to me to be such a great way to meet people, which is what it's all about. Being able to share what you know about somewhere awesome makes the day better for everyone involved; whether you are sharing the knowledge of your favourite bench or unexpectedly receiving directions to the best juice bar in town.

Interests

Well, travelling, but that's a given. I love living simply, being outdoors and watching the wildlife. I've become quite a fan of photography, an enjoyable challenge to get the perfect shot.

Just having fun I guess. I always try to enjoy myself and the situation I'm in, no matter how unexpected.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love reading. For books, I'm partial to non fiction. Top books of the last year include White waters and black by Gordon MacCreagh, Don't let's go to the dogs tonight by Alexandra Fuller, Cry of the Kalahari by Mark and Delia Owens, Monsters of God by David Quammen and Golden Spruce by John Vaillant. And many more I can't think of right now.
