Description
Howdy!
I am Ash from England. Avid traveler and volunteer, After backpacking around south and central america for 6 months last year I have decided it is something I will definitely be doing again, but this time for longer! A highlight was volunteering last year in the amazon jungle in Peru, working away from all creature comforts with a community that spoke no English was both eye opening and fun.
I am very open minded, confident and easy going, I would also like to think I am a fun person. Always love a good adventure, taking every opportunity to experience new things and see new sights! I am particularly interested in conservation, ecological living, meditations/yoga and learning new languages (german and spanish)
