Travel information

I am currently

Activities i am interested in:

Seeking cultural exchange and rural experiences.

Meeting new people and widening our knowledge is a key motivation behind my travelling.

Description

I grew up In Leeds, Yorkshire but have travelled and studied in various places. Over the past 2 years I have explored new cities abroad (such as Rome, Innisbruck, Prague and Antalya), seeing historical monuments and experienced new culture, all of which has inspired my workaway applications. Shortly after joining workaway, I spent a month in Trastanello, Italy kickstarting a Lavander farm project by preparing land and hand planting seedlings. I later spent 3 months doing general site work at a Kayaking outfitters on Lake superior in Wawa, Canada.

From a sporting backgrounds, the endgoal is to be working in the sports development sector. In the meantime, for real life experience I inspire to contribute to sustainable development goal projects for valuable life experience in my desired sectors.

From workaway I hope to explore different culture with a personable approach, building community along the way. Projects which are hands on and that I can transfer my physical capabilities to would be ideal to maintain my physically active lifestyle.

More details about your skills

My skillset has been demonstrated as wide and adaptable as I have taken on different roles throughout my time backpacking. I am a quick and keen learner with an ability to work efficiently. I can do physically demanding roles (e.g. carrying/lifting heavy loads, campsite maintenance, gravelling, warehouse work). Alternatively, I have worked in customer facing roles and so can demonstrate personable characteristics, good listening, problem solving etc.

Age

22

What else ...

At university I studied sport science with a heavy focus on sustainable development and psychology. Outside of our sporty backgrounds I am well rounded in hobbies and interests which can range from a quiet hike to concerts to board games. I find a lot of enjoyment in the company and time with others.
