Activities i am interested in:

I'm currently at home studying in the UK. This summer I would love to travel anywhere and everywhere just to see the world and learn about life!

Description

I am a Biological Sciences student at Durham University, England. Here, I am on the badminton team, take part in the canoe club and am involved in various musical societies including the Ceilidh Band, Folk group and an orchestra. Growing up as a scout, I have always had a yearning for adventure. I love travelling and meeting people, sharing stories and learning about different cultures. I took part in the World Scout Jamboree in 2019 in West Virginia, where I mixed with young people from every country and became first aid trained.
In summer 2022, I spent the summer workawaying at a campsite in British Columbia, Canada. I really enjoyed this experience and would love to continue the adventure!

More details about my language interests
I grew up in Cyprus, so was surrounded by so many different languages (Russian, Greek and Romanian). I always wanted to learn but never was able to so I'd love to learn any amount of any language and share my knowledge of English!

More details about your skills

As a university student, I know all about time management. I have to study, work, and cook for myself and my household all in a day. I love everything about this, however, and find it a rewarding experience. I have excellent experience with children as a babysitter and a scout leader, taking large groups of children aged 5-16 on field trips and teaching them valuable life skills. I love working with and learning from children...they can teach us a lesson or two sometimes. I am first aid trained and have had welfare training from my university.

What else ...

I play the flute and guitar well and would love to share musical knowledge of any kind. I adore folk music and enjoy learning about other forms of music and instruments. At university, I am also involved in a theatre company and have put on two shows in the last year. I would love to share this with anyone who would be interested and have some fun!
I am particularly interested in sustainable living and wildlife care/management. I spent hours and hours in Cyprus wildlife watching and became concerned as year by year there were less species to be spotted.
