Travelling
I am a passionate, fun and driven person with a huge curiosity to learn more. I always love getting fully stuck into anything I'm involved in and a 'holiday' of doing nothing honestly isnt really of any interest for me as I'm always looking to develop myself & my skills, so would welcome any challenge that might come!
- Work & Studying -
I am currently training to become a breathwork facilitator & life coach for a retreat company I am setting up for next year (as well as doing a cold water immersion diploma)
I have been a surf instructor for the last two years and absolutely love being outdoors and connecting with people in such a special way out in the ocean- hence why I have such a passion for it and want to expand that experience further!
I studied art, design & technology and have continued working with wood and developing my DIY skills wherever I can. I then went on to be a chef for about 8 years as well as co-running. catering company for music festivals & sushi bar, but since then I've realised my passion is in teaching and connecting with others through being active and stepping outside our comfort zones.
- Personal -
I don't smoke, drink alcohol, or take drugs, and am plant based.
I have lived in a minivan camper for over a year, as well as other van life experiences for months at a time so am very used to living small and love it!
I know the importance of being honest, clean & tidy, and self responsible- as well as working well in a team and feel great communication is so important for that. I have loved travelling and having such amazing new experiences as I feel we grow in the best ways from them and makes life such an incredible journey!
- Passions -
My two biggest passions are surfing & connecting with others. I also love snowboarding, climbing, wild running, mountain biking, freediving, scuba diving, swimming, music, cooking, reading.. pretty much anything really!
- My winter 2021 dream -
My dream for this winter season is to experience life on a sailboat, and do more volunteer work with sharks. So if it sounds like I might be of interest to you please get in touch!
If there is anything further you would like to know about me please get in touch & I'd be more than happy to share further!
All the best,
