Description
Hello I'm Ruth :) I'm 28 from Manchester UK. Usually I work in environmental policy for the public sector in the UK, but Im on a 12 month sabbatical to explore New Zealand. I am very outdoors-oriented and spend most of my time tramping, camping, and running in the hills, so ideally looking to be based where there is plenty of opportunity for that kind of thing. I also love art and music, and have really enjoyed previous workaways assisting with creative projects. I'm also interested in ways of living which are very different to my own, and interested in workaways which can broaden my horizons and teach me new practical skills. Do get in touch!

What else ...
I'm very outdoorsy, and interested in any opportunities which let me spend time outside, particularly where there is an opportunity to learn about the nature and wildlife around me. I spend a lot of my free time running, particularly trail and mountain running, and am always looking for new routes and places to explore. I also love cooking and am happy to pitch in with making meals wherever I am.
