Description
Hi, my name is Adrian, I'm 59 and a time served diesel fitter. I have run expeditions in Africa, Asia and South America and lived and worked around the world for 27 years before returning to the UK 5 years ago. I can put my hands to most things and enjoy the company of people from all walks of life. I built and ran a camp site and bar in East Africa and my most recent job has been over seeing a large fleet of vehicles for an international charity but now it is time to move on. Never been afraid of hard work and happy to help out where I can with a smile on my face. Heading to Mexico in December and looking for opportunities to improve my very basic Spanish while contributing and learning. Looking forward to meeting some new friends.

This was my first work away and I feel so privileged to of been accepted to help on this project. Thais and Uli are such amazing kind and generous people, they inspire you with their energy and I have some wonderful new friends. I completed 4 great weeks and learnt something new everyday.
