    Activities i am interested in:

    I am interested in Pilates, surfing, hiking and gardening/DIY I am a big advocate of sustainability, A passion for community building and land restoration, working in urban/ infrastructure planning.

  • Description

    I am an experienced solo traveller, having lived aboard for over 6 months and embrace learning about new ways of life and the local culture.
    I have been learning Portuguese and would love to develop my speaking and listening skills in this and/or Spanish as its my aspiration to be bilingual soon.
    I look forward to exchanging my skills and knowledge from working, and volunteering around people from all walks of life as a urban design and civil engineering.
    I have embraced tai chi, pilates, slow cooking, gardening and meditation to widen my world view, connection to my mind, body, nature and all around me. I have a passion for cycling, surfing and hiking in stunning landscapes and keen to experience the coast and/large vistas.

    I am excited about new challenges and more than happy to try my hand at a variety of tasks. I am open to being out of my comfort zone as I would like to develop my skill set further and love learning and setting myself new goals to further my development.
    I have many years of experience working with people from all walks of life including children and disadvantaged people in NGOs and in the public sector. These experiences have given me great exposure to improving the built environment in front line work, policy and building projects for those less fortunate than myself, and have been incredibly humbling.

    All I require is my own small bed and space to have quiet focused time to workout each day before i start my other responsibilities. I don't smoke or drink alcohol or eat junk food, I am more of a large herbal tea fan. I am not a vegan or vegetarian and enjoy local meat products.

    I can drive a car, cycle, quad bike and scooter and open to running errands using any of these modes, I am also NEBOSH health & safety trained and have basic first aid trained.
    I am passionate about making great memories together with those around me and the local community and am open to extending my time, as I have some flexibility for extra weeks.

    Thank you kindly for taking the time to read my profile.
