I love travelling, meeting new people and experiencing different cultures. I always want to continue learning and trying new things.
I worked as an Occupational Therapist but have quit my job and am keen to learn new skills and spend time in different countries.
I like to spend time outdoors and also have a regular yoga practice.
I have previous volunteering experience.
I spent 7 weeks in Madagascar helping on a project doing research into lemurs on a small island and I also spent 5 weeks at a Sivanda yoga retreat in the Bahamas helping with day to day chores. -

More details about your skills
I am used to working with people and feel I am able to get on well with people from a range of backgrounds. I worked in a very stressful environment with limited resources so I am used to hard work and the need to be flexible.
I am fit and active. I have completed a yoga training course but did it to enhance my practice rather than to teach.
I have a house and garden so have experience in doing my own painting and decorating and gardening.
I have completed a TEFL online course so would be interested in a language exchange. -
