Description

Hi everyone :-) I'm Geoff from the UK, I'm 54 and find myself in a position to travel again! I first went backpacking way back in the early 90s through S.E.Asia, Australia and New Zealand. So looking forward to travelling around again for a while, having new experiences and seeing new places while helping people along the way.

Over the years I've worked as a chef, barman, and waiter, I ran my own photography studio business, set up and ran a bed and breakfast, also worked as a care assistant with elderly clients, a support worker working with adults with mobility and learning disabilities, and had many jobs along this journey. I do love variety, and can turn my hands to just about anything!

My big passion is photography so I'm hoping to get some great photos and videos along the way, and also spend some time doing what work I can remotely

At the moment I'm house-sitting for a friend in the beautiful city of Bologna, Italy. I'm heading back to the UK in September and planning to be off travelling to warmer climates before winter!
