Travel information

I am currently

Description

I am currently in my gap year traveling South America.
I'm going to study ecology and conservation once my gap year finishes as I plan to become a plant taxonomist to help the protection of endangered species.
I have just been in France learning French and am now learning Spanish, which is proving to be alot of fun.
I spend my free time walking, reading many many books, drawing, cooking and attempting to teach myself the bass guitar.
I have experience working with animals and gardens from both my work and stiener education. I have lots of experience working with children from both babysitting and growing up in a family of 5 kids. I have worked in hospitality, ranging from the Bar to kitchen support at weddings. I have also worked in housecleaning and a plant shop so am comfortable with domestic work.
I love meeting new people, trying new food and learning new languages.
I look forward to meeting you.

More details about your skills

I am comfortable with basic gardening and have also received lessons in the basics of clay and woodwork, it has been a long time since I have taken these lessons but I would be happy to touch up on these skills.
I have experience working with animals as I've volunteered at my town's rare breeds farm where I had to perform hard manual labor. Additionally, in my own home, my family has always had dogs and chickens, cared for semi-stray cats, and even adopted abandoned ducklings.
I have lots of experience in childcare, I come from a big family of 5 children so am comfortable caring for children. I enjoy engaging in kids' adventures and imaginary worlds, reading to them, playing new games, and will happily talk for hours about trivial things. I have babysat for many families and remain in contact with some of the children who occasionally will write me letters.
I've worked as a house cleaner before and live independently so am comfortable with domestic tasks including cleaning and cooking.
