Travelling
My next destination:
Colombia - from Feb 2024 until May 2024 View allDescription
Hello! I'm Sam and I am currently taking a few years out to travel before (hopefully) going back to university to study psychology. I'm an endlessly curious and friendly person, always looking for new experiences. I love meeting new people from different walks of life, sharing stories and having a laugh! I'm a really firm believer that life is much better shared, and talking with and helping others brings real meaning and joy to my life.

I am a fantastic communicator and this means I can learn new skills very quickly. I have had a variety of jobs in my time including working in restaurants, cafés, warehouses, as well as landscaping and gardening jobs. I have also spent time working as an English teacher in France, Peru and Ecuador. I love languages and language exchange, and I speak English and French fluently (my undergraduate was in English Literature and French, and I did a postgraduate in Linguistics). My Spanish is not perfect but I can communicate very effectively and I am learning very fast! I am a real people person, working well in a team and also in jobs where customer service is at the forefront, and I am more than happy getting involved in harder physical work.
