Description
Hi my name is Tom, I'm 25 years old and I'm looking to travel to Deutschland in November!
I've volunteered twice before now and each time had amazing experiences. I think it's a great way to meet fascinating people, learn many things and get to experience living in different parts of the world. All which I greatly value.
My girlfriend is from the region and is currently studying in Köln
so of course a large part of why I am wanting to stay in this area is to be close to her, however that doesn't detract from my enthusiasm to get involved with a project at all!
I am only looking to help somewhere that genuinely excites me, so please don't think me looking to volunteer is an after thought. I really hope to find something interesting and engaging to do with my time and I will be very grateful to be offered an opportunity to do so! 😊
My work is gardening/tree surgery so I'm very used to working outside and hard physical labour. I keep very fit and I'm always keen to learn new skills so hopefully I should be pretty helpful to have around regardless of what the work is!
My plan is to take my van and drive down to Germany from England so I can really maximise my potential to explore the area and have some fun adventures. I thought it might be worth mentioning though as perhaps being able to drive means I can also be more helpful in some situations.
So despite it being relatively short notice and coming towards the end of the year I hope that someone can find some use for me and we can discuss me potentially coming to stay.
I look forward to hearing from you! 😁Interests

I suppose my main skill is a willingness and interest in learning new things so whatever the work is I'm confident I can adapt and be useful in any situation.
That being said I work doing gardening/tree surgery so I'm especially suited to working outside and doing physical labour.
I run my own business which has taught me many skills such as how to communicate effectively, an ability to work independently using my own initiative and need to take responsibility and hold myself to a high standard.
Again though I think the most important thing is that I'm eager for new experiences and just excited to meet new people and try new things!Age
