  • Description

    Hello!
    My name is Henry, i'm 21 and i live in the South west of England in Devon. I go to university in Bristol studying Politics and Spanish. I love to surf, ski and i also make surfboards. I work as a Gardener in the summer. In the winter i study at uni, and work during the holidays with schools in ski resorts.

    I really love my work- being outdoors and enjoying the elements in the winter and summer. And in my winter work i really enjoy working with kids as i would like to go into teaching after university.
    I have started a Workaway profile to spend part of my summer in South America and make my travels a proper experience not just a holiday. I want to surf a lot and gain some experience in an career path i find really exciting...

  • More details about your skills

    I have worked since 14 years olds in a variety of jobs- Waiter, Warehouse worker, team manager, chef, Ski rep. From these various roles i have developed a set of skills that let me transfer into any job with ease and have given me a strong work ethic to any new task.

    Regarding teaching, i have a full DBS check. I volunteered in schools when i was in high school coaching rugby and also did some tutoring through a buddy program at the school. I found the work really rewarding, working with someone to both learn new things!
    I now work with children on school ski trips in the winter and really want to start explore working in education.

    I also speak near fleunt Spanish and English at my native language.

  • What else ...

    I really am travelling to surf and get some experience working in a school. Any job that allows me a decent amount of time to do this every day is perfect....In-between , after or before work- i want a good work life balance of this!

    I want to be somewhere with a bit going on ,but really some waves and the opportunity of a new work experience interest me more than some clubs and other tourists.
