Description

Hi! I'm Bethany, I'm 26 years old and I'm from Scotland, UK 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I have been travelling and working/volunteering for almost 3 years, all over the EU, Balkans, North Africa and beyond. I have done all kinds of jobs - from farming in Iceland, Germany & Luxembourg, painting murals for hostels in Morocco and Albania, house and dog-sitting in Slovenia and Bosnia, and working at kite surf schools in Tunisia and Turkey.

I have over 11 years' experience working seasonally in the hospitality and service industry, including house keeping, cheffing, barista and bar work. Also, I have a higher qualification in Art & Design as well as a BSc degree in Psychology & Counselling, and I am trained to work in mental healthcare.

After backpacking for a few months at the beginning of 2022, I then spent 2 years living in and travelling with my self-converted van.

I am now leaving my van to begin my next adventure in New Zealand with my working holiday visa 🇳🇿

I am very outdoorsy and enjoy nature sports such as cross country running, hiking, mountain climbing, skiing, kite surfing and surfing - and I am always looking to learn more!

I speak English fluently and I have both, car and motorbike licenses.

More details about your skills

I have lots of experience in hospitality, particularly house keeping, food preparation, and customer service. I am experienced working in social environments and have been involved in many volunteer positions, so I'm comfortable with the volunteer dymamic.

I have been commissioned several times to paint large-scale murals for schools, hostels, and on one occasion my local council for a public underpass.

I have been trained in and previously worked in mental health/social care.
