Hey there! I currently work in sustainable transport (promoting cycling, walking and buses and trains!) in Bristol, UK. Travelling to Madagascar in April! I can speak French to conversational level (although I haven't spoken it in a while and would like to keep it up) and can speak some basic Swahili and Spanish. I love the outdoors- hiking, cycling, snorkelling and going out with my friends.
