I have had a passion about orangutans for many years and when I became seriously ill, it was the desire to visit them in Borneo, that gave me the strength and determination to get well. After 3 years of battling with my illness, I fulfilled my dream and went to work with orangutans in Borneo.

Since then I have returned to Borneo and also Sumatra many times. . I have also continued to fundraise for orangutan charities. As the volunteer ambassador for the Sumatran Orangutan Society I aim to support this charity through my talks. To enable this I share my stories, knowledge and experiences.
