Description
Hello! I'm Harvey. I love to travel, it has taught me a lot about myself and the wider world.
I'm active, I gym, run, hike, play tennis regularly and enjoy any kind of game. I also appreciate quieter time with a book (/ kindle) or a chess set.
In work i'm most motivated doing construction and manual jobs. I've worked in renovations doing a whole range of stuff [Carpentry, Painting, Plastering, Interior/Exterior Repairs, landscaping]. For me, nothing beats the feeling of being proud of a good days' work. I find that the tougher it is, the more rewarding!
Since coming back from my last trip (C America) I've applied to be an officer in the Royal Engineers. I'm looking to help out on some cool projects while my application (~9 months) progresses.
Wishing you all the best -
