Hello! Welcome to my personal blog where I share with you my passion for Earth Sciences, Art and Adventure!

With a Master's degree in Earth Sciences from the University of Oxford, my inclination for exploring the natural world is tied to an innate desire to understand it, now and in the past, and communicate its beauty, complexity, and many wonders.

Here, you'll find my encounters and accounts to date of some of Earth's most astounding geological places and phenomena. I'm also sharing with you the stages, as they develop, of my academic journey as a PhD student in Earth Sciences (Volcanology) at the University of St Andrews, and my ever-increasing appreciation for the planet we inhabit.
