I worked in a monkey sanctuary when I was in South Africa a couple of years ago and that was incredible. There was even a monkey called Emily. Just got back from a trip to the Galapagos... need I say more?

I've done two degrees and I'm toying with going back to University again so clearly I love to learn! If you can teach me anything from a few useful sayings in the local language to how to juggle or how to make the perfect local dish I would love it.

Very happy to help in any way I can. Maybe mutual language lessons or I can do some cooking for you whilst I stay? I'm also pretty good at Tetris so I could be persuaded to share my skills for that if you're lucky...

* Cooking - and I love to learn new things from people and places I visit. * Sports - the crazier the better. I have skiied, sort-of-snowboarded, ridden horses, done some hillwalking/mountaineering, canoed, sailed, wake-boarded etc. Not that sure about things like Bungee jumping but I might be persuaded to skydive. * I love the snow and anything cold. * I also love the beach and being around water. * Not a lot is better than chilling in a hammock with a good book and a cocktail too. * I'm also interested in the history of a place; I love any and all animals and natural history museums are generally my favourite; I like politics and as an ex-Philosophy student I love a good debate with people about everything and anything.
