Description
I've been travelling a lot this year, mainly with family so volunteering has been put on hold. Next year I intend to volunteer again and I'm starting off in Rwanda and crossing the border into Uganda so I'll be away for nine weeks. My time in Zambia was incredibly rewarding, the children were a delight to teach and always had a smile on their faces. I also volunteered in Trinidad and have returned five times as I made so many friends! Botswana saw me helping out at a backpackers in the most wonderful setting and I certainly saw the surrounding area as I travelled with some of the guests with the blessing of the owner. My destinations to volunteer next year aren't limited to any specific area as I would like to see as much of the world as possible. I’m more than happy to help in a bar, restaurant, kitchen (either domestic or commercial,) with any childcare and housework and anything else that needs doing. I have worked for numerous years in education and the hospitality industry and enjoy talking to people and giving the best customer service possible. I’m very easy going, get along with people of all ages and flexible with volunteering hours. I am always happy to help with a smile on my face and try to go that extra mile. Making others happy makes me happy.

Autres infos...
I love playing board games and card games. I enjoy watching films, listening to music and visiting places of interest but am equally happy with peace and quiet. I really like talking to people and finding out about their lives. I’m a good organiser.
I like to cook with fresh ingredients and learn different recipes. I’m also interested in art and history.
I learned British Sign Language some years ago so would probably pick that up quickly again.Informations complémentaires

This authentic experience exceeded all my expectations and I really did feel like part of the farm and beyond. Moruga is in the south of the island in an unspoilt part of the countryside where few if any tourists venture.
This made it extra special as I really felt as if I was living as part of the local community.
The farm houses… read more
