The gibbon warrior
Ever wondered what it's like to hear an ape sing? Follow a dancing lemur? Or live in a remote forest? Or what a field researcher does when they're not globetrotting?

Follow me on my adventures and find out for yourselves. I share my research journey, including all the unedited highs and lows.
You can also check out my photographs from previous trips.
