Hello, My name is Abi. I am a 32year old Scottish woman. The thing that really makes me happy is connecting with people. I have spent over 3.5years travelling and volunteering (through helpX, with over 17 hosts) and I absolutely love it!
When I'm back home, I work as a care worker with the elderly, and in the past have worked in hospitality and with young people in care.
I have a degree in Physics and Astronomy, but also trained in therapeutic massage and recently have completed a Teaching English as a Foreign Language qualification.
I travel by bicycle. In the past I have brought my dog although he is staying with my family for this upcoming trip for various reasons.
I am trying to travel to Australia, slowly.
I would be honoured to meet you and spend time together. I am a hard worker and very conflict averse.
We have only one life, I'm trying to enjoy it!
