Travelling
Activities i am interested in:
Traveling South America. I'm English, live in France - speak English, French and am learning Spanish. Love animals, exploring and adventure! I am happy to help with any task and meet new people! : )
Description
Hello!
3 years ago I left my office job in London to start traveling around Latin America. But due to the pandemic I went back home instead, to France.
Since, I've been gardening and maintaining the grounds of a small hotel in France, and teaching English as a foreign language (I am a TEFL-qualified teacher).
I've seen much of Europe, but only a few countries elsewhere (4 in Asia, 1 in Africa) - time to change that!
Nothing has ever been as exciting as the adventure of exploring new countries and cultures! I am in Costa Rica doing Workaways as I move around, meeting travelers and locals. I want to explore more of Central America afterwards. : )
For me travel is searching for a great community of people somewhere in the world!
I'm fluent in English & French, and have been learning Spanish for a few years. ¡pero necesito mucha practica!
(Ich kann auch ein sehr bisschen Deutsch!)
Reading, running, history and animals - I love all those!
Laughter, enthusiasm, curiosity, adventure and fun - 5 virtues!
Experience
I have experience working with children and teaching English.
Working outdoors, gardening, painting, DIY.
Experience organising community events.
Happy to do any of those again or try something new!
I am happy to do any work, good with my hands and happy to get stuck in. I am a cheerful person and don't mind doing dirty tasks.
Working outdoors, with nature, building, gardening - anything that requires physical effort or my hands I'm happy to help with.
I like to have fun and a laugh and enjoy socialising - helping others and building community is WONDERFUL!
Hope to see you soon! ¡Hasta pronto!Interests

Feedback
He learned about all the things we do at the place and passed that information on to guests.
I believe he will make a great contribution to any organization that hosts him.
