Description
Hello!
I am a bright and bubbly individual who has travelled to 34 countries and had a wide range of jobs from Engineering to Care Work, and from Finance to Teaching English abroad. I have also just completed a Nursing studies course in Ireland to add to my armoury.
I first did workaway in Germany and have now been doing it on and off in Ireland for over 2 years. It's been a very diverse experience for me, with both the living conditions and the work itself. I've met some incredible folk in the last two years.
The one thing that is a constant with me is the desire to help people, in whatever capacity that may be. I like to totally immerse myself in new experiences (even if that means getting out of my comfort zone!) as I feel this is how to get the most out of workaway. Trying things that you wouldn't normally do is all part of personal growth in my opinion (plus the hosts seem to love it when you dive 'head first' into whatever they may be involved in!).
I would like to continue on this wonderful journey, this time in Belize, so if you are looking for a positive team player who isn't afraid of a bit of hard graft then I'm your man!...Interests

I was at Catherine's for just over 5 months and it was one of the best experiences I've ever had. From the moment I got there everything seemed to click and I felt instantly at home.
