Travel information

I am currently

Description

I am really interested in nature and seeing wildlife, as well as learning new languages and cultures. I like hiking and cycling too, and taking my binoculars to see any cool animals. I also enjoy painting and drawing and frequently bring a sketchbook with me to draw out in the open.

I'm choosing to join Workaway so that I can see a country more than just as a tourist. This way I can meet someone properly, be consumed within the culture, and have a meaningful connection with a real resident of that country.

More details about your skills

I am physically fit and able for any manual work, and I am capable in the kitchen using knives and preparing food. I have worked in hospitality in my home town of Swindon, as well as the city of Bristol. This means I am good at communicating with people and engaging in a busy workplace.

I graduated university in Bristol doing a degree in Biology and have worked as an Ecologist for over a year since I graduated in 2023. This required working outdoors, driving long hours, and working throughout the night.

I have been creating art since I was young, and I am very good at painting and drawing. Additionally I have helped my Dad in the past with woodwork and DIY projects, so can use worktools when needed for repair work.
