Description
Hey guys,
I am a Brit currently solo backpacking around the world. I am looking to get stuck in, get some better insight into the local area, and hopefully have some fun!
I love to play all sorts of games, and can certainly teach you some new card games. I am a keen hiker, I like to watch and play most sports, too. Recently, I have been learning to surf and boulder.
I have quite a lot of manual labour experience from summer jobs having worked for marquee companies, and on several farms, including arable, vineyards, and dairy. I have driven tractors and other vehicles off road before, too.
I have also spent a fair amount of time working in hospitality, so I am pretty comfortable with jobs around the house. The last few years I've been growing my own veg and I am keen to improve my knowledge and skills there, too. I am a keen cook. Some of my favourite dishes to cook are chicken shwarma, orange drizzle cake, or a lentil dahl!
I am a mechanical engineer by trade (but, please don't expect me to fix your car!), and I work a lot with apprentices and young people. I also have quite a lot of experience teaching kids to sail and play rugby in voluntary roles.
It would be great to hear from you.

More details about your skills
I am a country boy and professional mechanical engineer (although you shouldn't expect me to fix your car!), and I am used to being in the outdoors. I have some DIY experience, having worked on farms and built aspects of my vegtable garden back home.
Also, I am proficient at offroad driving with a variety of vehicles, and I am independent, well motivated, fit, and able.

29
What else ...
I am very sociable, and I love to eat food... I am not fussy at all!
I love to play sports and games. I grew up playing rugby, sailing, and running, but I dabble with a bit of everything now. I will definitely be able to teach you a new card game or two!
If there is good hiking/surfing near you then I am desperate to do a bit of both on my travels.
