Description

Hi, my name is Ben and I’m 21. I love to travel and meet new people and have been lucky enough to experience different trips and adventures abroad before (you can see my feedback on my profile :D). However, with the help of work away, I wish to broaden my horizons and do something entirely new hopefully by helping hosts who need extra hands with whatever it is they are trying to achieve.

More details about my language interests
I am currently a student studying French at university and I have had experience teaching French in a classroom environment. A small part of my degree also consists of learning Spanish which is a skill I am keen to develop. However, I am not fluent in French therefore would also like to develop this skill as well. In addition, I have just completed my year abroad as part of my degree, and so I have official experience working as a language assistant in schools and for private clients.

More details about your skills

Aside from my eagerness to learn and take on new skills during my Workaway experiences, I have previously acquired useful skills by travelling and working in various jobs. For example I have worked in hospitality and a factory, therefore I am capable of working in a high intensity environment as well as being comfortable under pressure, having good time-management skills and working well in a team. I am also an active, genuine and hard-working person who is passionate about volunteering and making a difference. On top of this, I love to cook, exercise, read and have fun!

Age

21

What else ...

As I mentioned before, I cook a lot when I am at home and have experience in how a restaurant functions so would be comfortable in helping out in this aspect of my stay. Also, during my first year of university, I have experienced numerous other activities such as caving in locations such as South Wales and also kayaking in different places in Britain. I love to go running and swimming, but I have also played sports such as football, Tae-Kwon-Do and Squash. Furthermore, I have experience of voluntary gardening. However, I would say my favourite thing to do is travel!
