Description
I'm Ben, I just turned 18. Born in UK, I grew up in Singapore, Thailand, and Australia and we had people come on work exchange from all round the world since I was 9. Been back in Scotland for 2 years working in a book shop and on a couple of building projects.
Very interested to pick up new skills in any area, cooking, building, language.
From our experience of work exchange, I believe it's important to have: good communication, follow instructions, reliable, flexible and ready to work, keen to experience real local culture including cuisine.
