  • Description

    I'm a Londoner who has had enough of the big city. I work as a cheesemonger who specialises in farmhouse and small flock cheeses, and I have visited and helped out at a few farms over the years. I have always loved it and being in the outdoors around the farms.

    I'm super into food (especially cheese!) and love hiking, writing and photography, which I currently teach to primary school children. I love sharing knowledge and learning from other people, and want to broaden my horizons beyond London life.

  • More details about your skills

    Working in retail and education I feel confident that I could work alongside just about everyone and if something's for a good cause there's not really a job I wouldn't be happy to do. I'm a keen gardener so happy to help out in a field but also around the house..

  • What else ...

    When I'm not working, I love to make art. I recently put on an exhibition with some friends about nature and South London. I love all things food, and I've recently attempted brewing wine from foraged sloes. I love learning new techniques in the kitchen, and I'm pretty handy with DIY. I've recently taken over my friend's boat in Sweden so I've been working on that when I can.https://www.workaway.info/en/account/workawayer#next
