About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I love bringing people from different cultures together especially when it comes to natur conservation and sustainable development

ABOUT ME

In Ghana I discovered my love for the tropics and since then I've travelled whenever I could combine it with my studies. Like this I stayed with local families in Mali, Haïti, Honduras and Ghana and worked in forests in Uganda, Ghana, Central America and the Caribbean. Currently I'm living on and off in Madagascar to collect data for my PhD in Development and Environment.
