Description
My main passions are chemistry (I have just graduated with a masters in chemistry) geology, wildlife conservation and of course travel. I love adventure, discovering new landscapes, meeting new people and learning about their cultures and traditions. I play rugby in my free time and have experience coaching and running rugby teams for kids and also with my peers. I have a huge respect for nature and wildlife having taken part in many conservation projects near my home in Scotland. I grew up around a lot of animals and spent 5 years volunteering on an educational farm with the intent of teaching children about the animals and conservation. I also have my advanced open water diving.
