Description
We are a British couple and are currently travelling around South America in our campervan. Back in the UK, Ed is an Ecologist and Emily is a Guide Dog Trainer.

We are keen travellers and volunteers with particular interests in animal welfare and biodiversity conservation. In the past we have worked on a scarlet macaw conservation project and a sea turtle project in Costa Rica. We have also previously volunteered on a couple of farms and a hostel in Costa Rica through Workaway.

We lead active lifestyles and enjoy running, hiking, climbing and surfing. We also spend our free time gardening and reading.
