 About meI was born in 1983 and grew up in the Buckinghamshire village of Emberton, about sixty miles north of London, but at the age of sixteen I moved with my family to a remote and rain-soaked corner of the Scottish Highlands. After leaving school, I went on an eight-month trip around the world, during which I worked as a volunteer school teacher on Pentecost Island in Vanuatu. The next three years were nominally spent studying biology at the University of Edinburgh, although in fact my life revolved around an assortment of part-time jobs and further overseas adventures, including popping pills on a Bolivian mountaintop in the name of science and counting frogs in the Belizean jungle. After graduating, I spent a year tutoring biology at Basil Paterson College in Edinburgh. In June 2006, I returned to the South Pacific, spending nearly three years back amongst the islands, the coconuts, the coral fragments, the hibiscus flowers and the biting insects. There I worked as a science teacher, and in my spare time helped to document endangered Melanesian languages, some of which had hardly been written down before. |
