The GLC Team:
Daniel Budgell
 
Daniel spent most of his childhood in Toronto and Kyoto, raised by a multicultural family. He has called Vancouver home for the last 10 years and enjoys welcoming travelers to Canada because it reminds him of his many trips across the world. Since graduating from the University of British Columbia with a BSc in Biology he has project managed for many companies, often working in Africa and Asia. As the farmstay program coordinator he pays extra attention when recruiting farms and is sensitive to the needs of both volunteers and farmers. On the weekends he tries to go hiking and camping as much as possible.
