    Hi Guillermo,

    Thanks for your message - I am only travelling to Nigeria in March but I am actually planning a bit of a 'tour' starting sometime around July. I'm currently working as a product developer at Burberry in London but planning to throw in the corporate towel and follow my heart into producing fashion sustainably/ethically. My plans are to travel around Africa (mainly) and visit producers and projects, maybe work or volunteer where I can, to see how people are working and gather a network of contacts before I settle and start my own business. If you think you could use me at any point in the next year then I'd love to come and visit you!

    Thanks,
    Nicola.
