    Activities i am interested in:

    Looking to work at a vineyard in September/October during the harvest season to learn more about wine production and meet some amazing people!

  • Description

    I really want to go and try a new experience. I'm interested in getting out of my comfort zone and meeting new people. I want to explore new places, discover new jobs and work on my French language skills. I'm also keen to learn more about wine as I am also a freelance translator looking to specialise in the wine industry and would like some hands-on learning and experience.

    I love learning and adapting to local cultures and customs. In essence, if I visit somewhere, I want to live like a local. I'm keen to get away from my day-to-day life in the UK and experience something new that I can use to improve myself in both my professional and personal life.

    I have travelled and lived around Spain and France but there are so many more places I want to see and visit.

  • More details about your skills

    I studied French, Spanish and Italian at university and continue to use those skills in my part-time job as a freelance translator.

    I've played sports throughout my life such as football, rugby union, tennis and athletics. I would be happy to do any sort of manual labour.

    As mentioned before, I am really passionate about wine and would be happy to apply any skills to that field – whether that be picking the grapes or drinking the wine!

  • What else ...

    I'm generally a very easygoing and hardworking individual with a thirst for knowledge and a desire to see more of the world and meet some amazing people along the way.

    I have an eclectic music taste and I love cooking – I'm always looking for new recipes and adore Mediterranean cuisine. I'm fascinated by coffee and wine and love learning about the processes behind the production of them both.

    While I enjoy playing and watching sports, I also enjoy board games and reading, whether that be in English, French or Spanish. I love being outdoors – especially in the sun!
