Description
Hi, I am a Kiwi adventure, whose focus is on community development projects in Africa. As a teacher I enjoy learning new things that will help to give a hand up and create sustainable living in community development projects. Travel for me is about discovering cultures, places, meeting new people and growing from that experience, to understand each other more. I am adaptable, friendly, and confident to work independently.

What else ...
I love to explore the outdoors - hiking and camping. I can do rock climbing, kayaking, and horse riding although not much opportunity to peruse these. I enjoy playing board games and just as contented relaxing under the trees reading a book.

Amy was super helpful during the two weeks she stayed with us. She is a hard worker and a generous person who will jump in and help when she sees help is needed. She worked hard in the garden (in the mediterranean heat) and in our household. She has a wide range of skills too which she is happy to apply. Thanks Amy!
