It would be a couple few years later that I met Dr. Roo Vandergrift, who was doing his PhD work in the cloud forest, a place called Reserva los Cedros.

The way that I could be useful to Roo then and now was photography and taxonomy.

With almost 2m followers across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and YouTube, 30-year-old Roo Day, from Hertfordshire, is one of the most high-profile cleaning influencers in the UK.

Roo shares videos of what she calls "one hour speed cleans", where she sets herself a 60-minute timer and attempts to get as much cleaning done as possible.

"Genuinely to my core I would rather be spending the least amount of time cleaning possible, and I feel like people do also feel that way as well," said Roo.
