Travel information

I am currently

Description

I am 18, from Wales and have just finished school. I am planning to spend a few months travelling Africa, followed by studying art and design at an art college. I enjoy long walks, swimming, spending time with my friends and being outdoors. I also have a passion for music and am an aspiring dj, so if you're looking for a good playlist, I'm your girl. I have always felt connected to animals, I have two pets myself - a cat and a dog and rode horses throughout my childhood and teen years. I feel very strongly about making a difference and helping to create a more sustainable and equal world.

More details about my language interests
I am very eager to learn Swahili, I am trying to teach myself some basics online - but I would definitely benefit from some immersive learning. I am also more than happy to help teach English as it is my first language.

More details about your skills

I like to think I am fairly multi-faceted, I am a quick learner and always up for trying new things. I have been working since the age of 14 so I am no stranger to hard work and working as a team. My past jobs include experience in: hospitality, retail and cleaning. This has given me excellent people skills and a passion for helping others. I also spent two weeks volunteering for Permaculture at Glastonbury. Although I only spent a short time with them, I gained valuable experience and knowledge of permaculture whilst working, living and cooking communally. I also have A levels in Geography, Sociology and Welsh Baccalaureate - these subjects gave me knowledge on many current and past global issues and skills useful in every day life such as map reading . I am also handy with a needle and thread, or a sewing machine - whatever may be at hand - and I love to make clothes and be creative.

What else ...

I am a huge fan of Harry Potter and have probably read the books and watched the films more times than I can count!
