I'm currently on my way back to the UK to be an ecologist after 3 months in the UAE teaching kids field science and outdoor sports.

I spend a lot of free time running, diving, seeing live music, doing poi (on fire as often as possible) and reading silly fantasy books.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to do all of the things all of the time, therefore I am generally skint.

Interests

Exploring places.

Nature.

Dancing like a moron.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music- Anything that isn't trap or telling me how hard a teenage breakup is. Bonobo, Massive Attack and Krafty Kuts are some of the best live sets I've seen.

Movies- The Neverending Story, The Aristocats, Labyrinth

Books- love of a bit of Discworld, Lord of the Rings, The Alchemist

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Tracked a rare species of goat around the unexplored Hajar Mountains of Oman for two months.

Teach, Learn, Share

The website gives me so many factoids http://www.sciencealert.com/science-says-you-should-do-your-most-important-work-first-thing-in-the-morning

Did you know that a sperm whales penis is 6 feet long- the skin of which makes an excellent rain retardant cloak with ready made head hole, worn by the whalers of yesteryear.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Scintilating conversation, heavy duty gardening (I've worked in practical conservation for a while) and brewing interesting alcholohol is all on the cards.

I can also do a bat survey of your house.
