Description
Hi I’m Holly, a nurse from the UK currently on a sabbatical from my job on an infectious diseases medical ward, hoping to volunteer my skills and experience and broaden my practice beyond traditional healthcare settings.
I love travelling and have a van that I’ve taken on many a road trip around the UK and Europe. I have also been lucky enough to go on a few backpacking trips around India and South East Asia
Towards the end of my last backpacking trip I felt a strong inclination to get involved in community projects, find ways to connect a little deeper and give back to the people and communities that had been so generous to me on my travels
It would be a privilege to be able to volunteer my time to community projects, I’d love to offer my support and am keen to learn new skills and experiences too!

I spent almost 2 months volunteering as a nurse with the medical team and teaching English at the school. My time here has been wonderfully varied and full of learning, community and spirituality. Every single person has been so generous and welcoming and I really feel like part of the family,
