Description
Hola! I'm an Australian traveller in my late 20s taking a year abroad to learn Spanish and live amongst the locals in Europe.
I'm a Biomedical Engineer by trade, and I was raised on a 2,000 acre farm in rural Australia, so I'm familiar with varied working environments. This year I'm hoping to run a marathon, and love to cook and eat.

More details about your skills
I'm an engineer by trade, with the associated professional skills (professionalism, problem solving, mathematics, technical writing).
I also have 3+ years of hospitality experience (across the board - kitchen, waiter, bartender, barista)
I was raised on a working farm (2000 acres) in rural Australia running sheep, cattle, and cropping. I have some experience with operating heavy machinery but I'm more comfortable in manual labour or animal husbandry roles (building fences, feeding and herding stock, fixing water pipes.)
I'm fit and healthy and don't mind a bit of hard work!

What else ...
I'm a runner and an amateur chef and a rock climber and a big talker! I've worked in wine and coffee and am passionate about both. I'm obsessed with learning, teaching, and community, and have volunteered at bike repair workshops and vegetable coops.
