Travel information

I am currently

Description

I love the natural world, working with my hands and meeting new and varied people from cultures all over the globe. I’m training to become a Bushcraft instructor, so I can spend as much of my time as possible learning, and teaching others, how to live off the land, discover self-reliance and bring oneself some inner peace in a crazy world. I’ve done a fair bit of travelling in my life, but am always looking for more adventure. I want a life filled with love, laughter and great memories - the kind I can look back on and consider a full life well lived.

More details about your skills

I am a very hard worker - I haven’t got lots of experience doing DIY but I love working with my hands, I’m thorough, smart and pick things up quickly and (relatively) easily.

Depending on when you read this, I will have begun my training to become a Bushcraft instructor, developing my skills in foraging (wild food + medicinal), natural navigation, edged tools (e.g. knife + axe), shelter building, and game catching and processing, and among others. I can also ride horses.

I haven’t much experience regarding animal care (farming/homesteading) or agriculture but both are areas I’m keen to develop as having my own plot of land to live off sustainably is a life goal of mine and so any work in that area I would be very excited to get stuck in and learn!

I have experience working with and caring for children (and have a recent DBS - UK background check) and I can also speak rudimentary Spanish, which I am in the process of improving.

I’ve got a Law degree so have lots of experience working in offices, using tools like Excel, Word and other platforms/organisational tools involving large amounts of information.

Most importantly, I have a keen eagerness for new challenges and a desire to learn. I work very well with a team, or alone, am capable of using my initiative and have a good dose of common sense. Even if I don’t have the specific expertise you may be looking for, if you want someone who is enthusiastic, friendly, and who will pick things up quickly while working hard, I’m your guy!

What else ...

I LOVE to read - happy to recommend/ bring you a book if you tell me what you’re interested in, and if you have a library or collection of books you’re willing to let me read, we’ll get along great

I meditate regularly and am perfectly happy working or spending time alone if there are placements that are less socially-focused

I exercise often and am physically fit and strong so can help with more physically demanding work

Board games, music, star gazing, and crafts are also a big yes. Currently practicing my carpentry skills
