Travel information

I am currently

Description

I'm very social with a good sense of humour and love to laugh, I love to be outdoors and enjoy most activities but working with people, animals and wildlife is where I most happy and I am not shy of manual labor or working with my hands if something needs to be built. I'm am often told by many people that meet me that I have a good soul.
For the last 20 years I have worked for the National Health Service in the UK and worked with patients from all walks of life but I've dreamed of exploring South America, meeting new people and sharing new experiences and I now have the opportunity to be able to do this and work allow me to improve on my Spanish which i find a beautiful language.
I am hard working, punctual and reliable and take pride in the work I do.

More details about your skills

Hi there,
My name is John and I've worked for the NHS (National Health Service) for over 20 years during that time I've worked in many different roles within the NHS which include working as a HCA (Health Care Assistant), Assistant OT ( Occupational Therapy) and a Senior Support Worker, working with complex patients within the physical health and psychiatric field. During this time I have worked with patients and colleagues from all over the world, from all walks of life, we have often discussed different countries, cultures, languages and places where people have travelled to and I've always been envious of other people's adventures but due to work commitments was unable to travel myself.
I have now found myself in a fortunate position where I am able to travel, during my time with the NHS I have developed lots of practical skills that I will find helpful while volunteering and I'm quite active and attend the gym regularly, I also enjoy bicycle riding, dog walks, gardening, hiking and kayaking and just generally spending time outdoors. I enjoy D.I.Y. (Home Improvements) and manual labor. I'm very social and love to be around people and have grown up around animals (dogs, cats, pigs, horses, donkeys and fish (marine and tropical) and I'm used to providing routine care for my pets and garden.
My Spanish is not great im currently learning and I'm hoping to use my time away to practice and improve on this as I love the Spanish language and Latin culture.
I'm not sure what else to write here but if these is anything else you would like to know please contact me
