Description
Hello! We’re a young Portuguese–Scottish couple living in Denmark about to start an exciting journey across South America, beginning in Brazil.
I (Catarina) have just finished a PhD in Life Sciences and always dreamed of taking a longer trip after completing this chapter to do something practical and make a difference. Lowri is a mechanical engineer with an interest in green energy and practical skills from growing up in Britain's most remote inhabited island, where having a strong community is key. We both love being outdoors, hiking, exploring nature, and learning more about the natural world! We also thought it was a great chance for Lowri to test out his Portuguese.
We decided to take a break, to travel, and get involved in meaningful projects along the way. We’re both passionate about projects that support environmental and wildlife protection as well as getting to meet enthusiastic new people and help where we can! :) -
