Description

Hello! I'm Eliesha, a solo traveller looking for good company and unique experiences! I am 24 years old coming from the rural countryside of England, with a love for exploring and enjoying all our world has to offer. I have been travelling often for the last 5 years, in that time I've been lucky enough to live in The Gambia for 5 months, supporting the local community through fundraising and developing sustainable gardens in the community, immersed in the culture and living life back to the basics. I have also explored Europe, Australia and South East Asia, volunteering in a wide range of work from animal sanctuary's to strawberry selling to hostel work. When I'm not volunteering, camping and hostel hopping are my favourite ways to travel.
I am easy going but hard-working with experience in childcare, hospitality, gardening, fundraising and customer service, however I enjoy getting my hands dirty and learning new skills so will be up for anything! I am so excited for my next adventure and hope to follow my passions with the outdoors and animals. I am yearning to discover more of what our world has to offer while meeting new people and expanding my knowledge.

More details about your skills

I have worked with animals and children as well as in customer service, hospitality and more. I recently graduated with a Bachelors degree in Neuroscience and when I'm home I work as an outdoor activities instructor, training people of all ages in activities such as target shooting and all-terrain quad biking. Although I love my work, I'm always ready to explore and want to experience life outside of my comfort zone, make life long friends and learn new skills.
I'm not afraid of hard work and love getting my hands dirty. I have experience in sustainable horticulture from my time in The Gambia, volunteering in a food forest in Malaysia and personal gardening projects at home in England . Animal care is a passion and I have experience caring for over 50 dogs in an animal shelter in Thessaloniki, Greece and hospitality too, helping to open and run in a hostel in Thailand. I thrive in new, enriching environments and hope to surround myself with passionate people.

What else ...

Although I love to explore the outdoors, I also enjoy a cosy night in, watching films and playing our favourite board games, Carcasonne and Settlers of Catan.
My job entails hosting group events in outdoor activities, I'm confident teaching, public speaking and ensuring guests have a good time. In my spare time I enjoy house projects, such as cleaning and landscaping and attempting some YouTube DIY and have a passion for gardening and creating beautiful spaces. I'd would love to gain some more knowledge in building and mechanics,
My aim is to create a sustainable lifestyle and eventually create a home with this knowledge in the future!
