Travel information

I am currently

Description

I am a very active person, loving to be outdoors as much as possible. I am passionate about the positive effects of exercise and good nutrition. I have worked in an office environment for a period (Finance Manager) and am now craving some manual work where possible. Having worked in the ski industry for thirteen years, I enjoyed balancing work with sports (snowboarding). When I am not wandering around outdoors, I love to read, write or continue studying my Personal Trainer course (a slow process).
I enjoy working with children, and seeing them learn new things and new words. I also have extensive experience with dogs, having worked at a boarding kennel with training and grooming facilities.
