Travelling
My next destination:
Australia - from Nov 2023 until May 2024 View allDescription
Hi!
I'm Edgar :)
Having recently completed my second year at university, and with the prospect of the corporate world looming over me, I've decided to take a leap and just live life.
I'm a solo traveler who loves connecting with others, and I take particular pride in my sense of humour and practicality. I could be literally anywhere, in any circumstance, and still aim to make everyone smile - be prepared for dry British wit at your own risk...
I enjoy talking about everything from human psychology to outer space - I am always calm and logical, will never let emotions dictate my actions, and am extremely accommodating to the people around me
What I can offer you:
House Maintenance, Cleaning, Tidying
Cooking
DIY and Manual Labour
Gardening and Landscaping
Painting and Decorating
Animal Care, especially dogs
Help with children in any capacity (I don't mind dressing up as a princess and singing)
Academic tutoring
A general shoulder to lean on - mental health is absolutely paramount
I'm happy to talk more via video call, don't hesitate to ask
I look forward to hopefully meeting you!Interests

Soft skills:
• Work ethic
As the son of a single mother, I understand the value of money, connection, and determination.
• Self reflection
Growing up as the only male in my entire extended family i quickly became aware of my own privileges, and the importance of empathy when communicating with others. I hate making anyone feel uncomfortable, and would rather bear the weight of responsibility to make others happy.
• Communication
I find the easiest way to bond with others is through my humour, having laughed my way through some of the trickier times in my life :)Age
