Description

Hello!

I grew up on the Land's End peninsular in Cornwall - the southwestern tip of the UK - which is where my love for the sea and water sports flourished. Surfing and swimming are my passions!

I have channelled this enthusiasm into holiday employment at Ocean Sports, a local water sports centre, where I provide tourists with guided SUP tours along the beautiful Cornish coast. As a qualified ASI Level 2 SUP instructor and RNLI Beach Lifeguard, I ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all.

In 2024-2025 I had a gap year and did an au pair workaway for a family in France and did a live in English teaching and au pair style work away in Bahia Brazil, after this I also completed a season of volunteer beach lifeguarding in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica - working in both Spanish and English.

Beyond the ocean, I have a deep appreciation for cooking, music and art, which enrich my life daily. I'm inspired by travel, eager to meet new people, learn languages, and immerse myself in cultural exchanges. Having completed the International Baccalaureate, I am currently studying International Development at Kings College London
