  • Description

    My name is Otto, I'm 19. I recently finished college, and this is my first time solo travelling.

    After working in a Thai kitchen for a couple of years I have learnt some basic Thai, and would love to learn more about the beautiful culture in Thailand. I'm going to travel from North to South, training and fighting in Chiang Mai and hopefully doing some climbing and trekking in Krabi. I'd also love to learn about Buddhism, meditation and ways of thinking different to my own. I really value connection and enjoy being part of a group/team.

  • More details about your skills

    I've been working since I was 15. I have experience in retail, hospitality, and working in kitchens (chef in Thai kitchen). This has given me a real love for working as part of a team, and given me a calm air in stressful situations.

    I enjoy learning new languages. I studied Chinese in school (taking the final exam 2 years early), and loved learning Thai to connect with my colleagues at work.

    I am really into working out and keeping fit, I have taught boxing and kickboxing classes to my gym, as this is my passion.

    I spent 6 months volunteering at a local primary school, helping children develop their reading skills. I love working with children, and find this type of work very rewarding.

    I am a fast learner, and enjoy aquiring new skills. I'm not afraid of hard work, and enjoy a challenge.
