Description

Hey, I'm Marcell from Hungary. For a long time I have been planning to travel around Latin America, and now finally the time has come. I've quit my job and decided to take my backpack, nothing else to discover the culture, nature, gastronomy and the people from the south of Chile to the north of Mexico. I fly to Bolivia in the end of October (2023) to discover this amazing country and then continue to Chile. I would be happy to find similar souls and share at least parts of my trip travelling with others, I think that's an amazing experience!

It's hard to describe myself with one profession, as I've been in many different roles through the years. Still, there is one thing I cannot escape, my desire to travel, to see, experience and get to know the world. As many of the travellers, I also enjoy meeting new people, hearing the unique stories everyone has, understanding the different perspectives. Throughout my journeys I've met amazing people, gained lifelong friends and created crazy stories that one day my grandchildren will be hearing until they get bored by it!

Originally, I'm an animal behaviour biologist/ecologist. I've have always been fascinated by the living creatures we share our planet with, and I try to help conservation organizations with my work and time. I've been to the Peruvian and Mexican rainforests to volunteer in projects related to the conservation of parrots and other endangered species. However, as I realized that our planet needs help in many areas of life, I've decided to become a science communicator, someone who bridges the gap between science and the public by storytelling, content creation, social media, journalism, public speaking, photography and videography. This is something I would like to continue meanwhile travelling as well and give visibility to the projects and people that are important.

Overall, I just want to be a good person and I want to help wherever I can.

My skills that I can professionally help you with:
- 📸 Photography (I can make professional photos for you or your project and edit them)
- 🎬 Video (I can record and edit short videos for you to use it on social media)
- 👨‍🍳 Cooking (I'm not a professional chef, but I will be one day, cause everyone loves my food) ;)
- 📢 Communications, public relations, social media management, content creation
- 📰 Writing, journalism, script writing, editing, fact checking.
- 🌱 Conservation project research (I'm skilled in statistics and data science)
- 🌻 Farming, growing vegetables and other plants
