Description

My name is George, I am 25 years old and have been lucky enough to get offered a mini sabbatical over the months January and February 2024. I'm looking to do some exploring in south east Asia, try some delicious food, meet some fun amazing people and see some of the beautiful sights I hear everyone rave about. I had plans to come here a few years ago but COVID 19 prevented that, so this is me trying to make up for that missed trip!

Having been brought up in the country side, I've learnt spending time in nature is one of my greatest pleasures; whether its rock climbing, scuba diving, running, foraging, walks, camping I find myself spending as much time as humanly possible outdoors! I've heard from friends that rock climbing and scuba diving are incredible in the area, so if you know of any local spots I would love to hear about them! Having spent much of the last year living off takeaways to try keep up with the demands of my job, I am at the point where I am sick of seeing another burger or pizza! So hoping this will be a great chance to experience and hopefully learn some of the cuisine south east Asia is so famous for!

More details about your skills

My full time job involves project management, designing and installing floating rafts for aquatic plants at a start up company. This means I'm used to driving heavy machinery, hands on work (especially planting! I must've planted close to 10,000 aquatic plants now I think), and creating designs from scratch and then leading a team to implement them.

I have a masters degree in environmental engineering so I'm very keen on helping with environmental/ sustainability led projects and would love to learn in almost any subject branching from that area i.e. regenerative farming, off grid living, reforestation.
