    Travelling

  • Description

    Hi! I'm an enthusiastic 21 year old studying Sociology and Geography in Scotland at the moment - but although I am young, I'm responsible and prefer an outdoor lifestyle to a loud city one. I was set up to work on some farms in Norway during my gap year, but because it was 2020, the borders closed just before I was supposed to leave :(. Now I'm trying to find similar experiences during my summers, as I love the outdoors, and travelling in general.

    I grew up abroad and moved every few years with my family (I've lived in Mongolia, Italy, Ethiopia, Laos, Vietnam, the Netherlands, and now Scotland) so I love traveling and meeting new people. I'm also flexible, hard-working, and generally learn and adapt quite quickly, so I'd love to be put to work and help out in any way I can!

  • More details about your skills

    I used to bike about a marathon (40km) a day working for a food delivery service to save up for my trip to Norway. Now I work as a Kitchen Porter in a museum/events venue and also for a Catering service that sends me to hotels, stadiums etc. as a helping hand (waiter, kitchen, till operator) to save up for trips while studying at university.
    I'm also very flexible, responsible and hardworking so will work as many hours as you need.
    But I've also had lots of experience childminding and babysitting if you're looking for help with kids. Being the eldest child I used to cook dinner for my family several times a week and learn new dishes quickly so can contribute in the kitchen and with housekeeping if needed. But in general, I perform best outdoors in nature and will help out wherever needed. I don't have previous carpentry skills if that's what you're looking for, but I make up for what I don't know with an eager attitude, willing to learn and help out wherever needed!! I'm an animal lover so would love to learn more about dog mushing or caring for horses, but will also gladly work in other areas.
