RE: BOM DIA!!... from an Irish Ethnobotanist in Brazil : Wild Food - Amazing Nature - Hippy Souls - Shamanic Shenanigans

Almost time to go home to be honest!! But I have a fair backlog of photos...unfortunately my nice camera broke along with a succession of smart phones so I don't have as many nice photos as I might have liked. Stay tuned! Steeeeeeeeemit x

That's what backlogs were made for :)
I'm finally writing about my previous two-year trip.

It's like literary constipation (not literally! he he)

Where have you been travelling??

Well, I was living in Germany for a few years. Then I quit work and spent 8 months traveling Europe, about 8 months in Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam (mostly Vietnam). Then about 8 months in Guatemala, Colombia, Peru, and Ecuador. Now I'm in Portland, thinking about getting rid of all my stuff to go traveling again.

What about yourself?

Ha ha, just reading that made me dizzy!!! He he. I grew up in Donegal, studied in England, although also studied a year in Marseille in France, after finishing my degree I spent three months in Madagascar on a tropical ecology course and placement with a conservation NGO, afterwards worked in Ireland for 8 years, most of which was as a botanist which involved fieldwork placements for several months at a time in various parts of the country. During that time in Ireland I also visited England, Czech Republic, Macedonia, Croatia, Italy, Spain, France, and also managed a month in Brazil. I was working in Ireland at the peak of the Celtic tiger and had the privilege of making friends from all over Europe and Brazil who had come to Ireland attracted by lucrative work opportunities, so basically made lots of friends that I could then visit in their home countries (strategic strike!!). Then I went back to the UK for more study, spent three months in Gabon for my masters project, and now I'm in Brazil. Phew, actually recounting that made me dizzy too!

Oh, great. Now I'm dizzy :) You're all over the place!

Looking forward to seeing what you get up to (or have gotten up to). Cheers!
