Oscar Betts
Oscar is a digital nomad who was born in the UK. Most recently he’s spent over a year and a half travelling through southeast Asia and Australia. He has a master’s degree in English literature and enjoys writing fiction in his spare time. As a freelancer he’s worked in a variety of roles, including education and essay marking, and writing articles, blogs and book reviews. He’s always had a soft spot for animals, in particular birds and cats both big and small. On his travels he’s been fortunate enough to see all kinds of new animals, mostly birds and lots of lizards, but he’s also been able to enjoy some safari experiences, seeing amazing animals like crocodiles and elephants up close.
