Going to Nepal from early September

Beschreibung

Hello!

I am a 26 year old New Zealander spending a year abroad to gain new experiences, learn more about the world and myself.

I started out in Australia, spending almost 7 months volunteeering and backpacking. I have stayed with many hosts and thoroughly enjoyed experiencing their way of life, the beautiful landscapes they are in and meeting their pets. I'm in very happy contact with a few that I hope to see again in the future!

I'm now spending 3 months in Nepal, volunteering with schools, charities and families. It is something I have wanted to do for a long time and am really looking forward to it ever since I made Nepali friends.

I have lived 12 years on an organic farm with goats, sheep, cows, chickens and pigs (and the occasional peacock). I'm also familiar with gardening, habitat restoration, animal husbandry, permaculture, regenerative practices and sustainability.

I also have a working background in hospitality as a waitress and bartender, in events as a food and beverage supervisor for concerts, the arts and sport venues, as well as tutoring for English language learning and essay writing.

My main hobbies are reading, drawing/watercolour, hiking, and board/card games.

Mehr Infos zu meinen Sprachinteressen
I speak English fluently and it is my only language, though it's not my first. I am very interested in re-learning Russian as it was my first language before I came to NZ. I know how to read the Cryllic alphabet and have a grasp of beginning vocabulary. My grammar, speaking and listening is very lacking

Was könntest du arbeiten?

I've developed a lot of skills in my most recent role and worked on my pre-existing ones.

I'm great at interacting with children, caring for pets and farm animals.
I'm fully hands on with outdoor work, either in the garden, an orchard or farm.

I can help with fine work painting tasks, home help (decluttering and reclamation of spaces is very satisfying to me) as well as cooking/food preparation and cleaning.

At my most recent job, I was known for being a highly engaging individual with co-workers and customers alike. My banter and wit was my signature style across many situations and I made many great friends across all levels of this environment (except the CEO, I made sure not to show too much personality there!).

I'd say that my biggest skill is my curiosity and willingness to learn. I'm very interested in the world around me. I love to ask questions, reading about questions I have, and now that I have the time and some savings, to experience it.

Below I have included some additional skills that I believe I possess

○ Highly adaptable
○ Communication
○ Creative thinker
○ Collaboratiom
○ Pro-activeness
○ Self-awareness
○ High work ethic

Passions
I am very passionate about a few things that I know I have not had enough exposure to and this is something I am looking to develop.
Having grown up on a farm for my most formative years in NZ, I am constantly drawn to animals and their care. One day, I will raise my own and grow vegetables and learn to be self-sufficent when the world continues to become more topsy-turvy.
I am also very interested in the rehabilitation and monitoring of wild animals and being involved in any efforts that allow them to occupy their natural environments with as little human influence as possible.

I would also like to get involved in community endeavors. However, I don't profess to have a lot of experience with this so I will be joining in wherever I can. I suspect it will become a large building block in my life.

Hobbies
My most accessible hobby at the moment is reading. I have a trusty kindle that I read a wide range of literature on. My favourites are Fantasy and Sci Fi but I also cycle through Mystery, Thriller, Autobiography, Non-Fiction, Classics and Contemporary.

While I am on this trip, I am also looking to reconnect with my artistic self so I have brought one drawing book and the barest of supplies to make drawings and paintings. I love to draw animals in a number of mediums but also make designs and landscape art as well.

I also love being outdoors, particularly in hiking uphill with amazing views (preferably in alpine environments).

Favourite games are Catan, Monopoly deal, 5 cCrowns and Nines.
