Activities i am interested in:

Hi I'm currently planning to travel in France between the 26th of February 2022 until May. I'm a young student hoping to meet people and learn the French language.

Description

Hi I am an 19 year old British student currently living in England. I have just finished my studies and have decided to take a gap year to explore Europe. What makes me most happy is meeting new people; learning new crafts and skills and making new memories :). A few things that I love are animals; cycling; meditation; reading and cooking.
I chose to be a workawayer for my gap year as I feel that it will give me an opportunity to explore new cultural environments; whilst giving me new skills in the world of work that may help me in the future. I am easygoing and friendly with a love for meeting people and so I am sure we will get along whether you are a traveller or host :)

Please note: I have had both of my vaccinations which I can provide proof for :)

More details about your skills

Below is a summary of my current work experiences that I have had so far. I have experience in catering; hospitality and caring roles. Although I do not have much experience in manual labor jobs, I spend a fair amount of my time helping my parents look after our home (gardening and 'handy' jobs). I am eager to learn new skills and am a motivated and hard-working individual :)
