Currently at home, in Bristol, UK. I'm interested in charity work, trekking/exploring, DIY and gardening, language learning, cultural exchange.
Description

I'm an active, positive and curious person, I work with people (social work) but I also enjoy nature, outdoors and manual work. I've travelled a lot and I adapt easily to new places and environments. I love to listen to people and their stories and to share mine. I love to learn and teach what I know. I try to challenge myself with new experiences as this makes me grow as a person and gives me more means to dedicate to my work.
