Description

Hello! I am Joe.

I am a happy and hardworking person and believe I get on with everybody. I experienced solo travel in 2023 for the first time aged 37, visiting SE Asia and Europe. in 2024 I plan to travel Europe in June and hopefully practice my Italian speaking skills.

About me - I am a creative person, I am employed as a joiner and carpenter full time, specializing in architectural joinery making high end bespoke wooden windows and doors. I also have a side project specializing in making art and furniture from reclaimed wood. You can see some my work in photos or find me on instagram @robertson_cheney

Along with woodwork, one of my main passions is cooking and eating out. I have been a vegan for 6 years and I love to show people how delicious vegan food can be without judging people that are not vegan. I regularly cook for groups of my family and friends with the most at one time being 25 people!

In my spare time I play in bands, having the opportunity to tour the UK and Europe in the past, gaining some amazing experiences along the way. Types of bands that I have played in range from heavy rock, dance music covers, reggae, blues, folk and everything in between!

I believe music is great way to connect with people and I love to get recommendations for new music playlists from new people that I meet.

Relevant to this, I have experience in teaching guitar and drums to children in schools in the UK and found it incredibly rewarding.
