Travel information

I am currently

Description

I'm currently travelling through South America on my bike, and plan to stop at Workaways along the way to help learn Spanish and more about Chile, Argentina etc.

I'm an easy going hard working person who loves meeting new people and spending time in new places. While I enjoy social occasions, I relish spending time alone.

I'm a cyclist who spends a lot of time on her mountain bike and rides less and less on the road. I always enjoy the great outdoors, but it's much more fun going faster on a bike!

I'm really interested in construction learning everything to do with building a home - from carpentry, water systems, electrics etc. All of it!

I studied Economics (but don't hold that against me!) and since graduating have spent time cycle-touring, volunteering, and working in a coffee roasters. I've spent the past four years avoiding the 9-5 rat run.

I work ~15 hours a week as a freelance writer for a cycling website.

More details about your skills

I enjoy getting stuck in to a project, but will need guidance on some of the more technical work. I'm in the process of converting my van and am enjoying learning each new skill as I go and I've developed a love of any power tool.

I love learning and have a methodical approach to any physical project. I would most enjoy spending time on any construction project where I am able to work with different materials and learn new skills.

My freelance work has allowed me to work on my writing skills and I've learnt to enjoy putting pen to paper and describing an experience or my thoughts. I've often kept them to myself though.

During a 6-month internship in France whilst at Uni, I lived with a family of four and spent a lot of time playing with their two young boys trying to tire them out. As two young active boys, they were quite a handful at times (especially with the language barrier) but I learnt that time with kids is some of the most joyful fun to be had!
