Description

Hi! I'm Ursula, a bubbly and social person to have around with a good set of skills. I've got a wide range of experience, mainly because I have a lot of interests and I'm lucky enough to have the ability to explore.
I thrive in groups of people and am proactive in creating games and activities for everyone to do. Equally, I'm very content with alone time and enjoy my own company.
This year I did the West Highland Way which was fantastic and ignited a desire to complete other long distance walks! Having travelled a lot in Scotland, including with my converted Berlingo, I'm used to being outside in all weathers. I think I have a preference for the days when the sun is in!
Growing up on a farm means my love for animals will always be ingrained in me... there is nothing better than a dog, not even a person! We farmed sheep and I've always returned home to help during lambing season.
My studies have largely focused on people and society. However, my current change of direction involves moving towards animals and landscape.
A perfect day for me would probably involve swimming somewhere, getting outdoors, ideally with some creatures, and lots of good food and music. I never say no to a pub garden either..!
I play piano and flute, and mostly enjoy trying to play with others! Especially more folky music.
I'm looking for a work away this year to get stuck into something a bit different, and spend some time with new people.
