Hi there, I am a qualified Fine Artist, Art and English teacher, with experience working in the UK, South Africa and South East Asia. I love people and places, photography and food and naturally want to help people wherever I am, highly enthusiastic and inquisitive. I plan to travel through South America overland from Argentina to Mexico and I am also willing to do anything practical like gardening, cooking, cleaning; mostly i love working with paint.
My special interest is the ancient and modern archaeological history and monuments of South America and I aim to see as many as I can. If you are looking for a creative and hardworking, friendly volunteer, I am that person.
