Description
Hello everyone, my name is Ben - I'm 32 and from England.
I was a teacher in England for 7 years, which was a job I really enjoyed - however I decided to take 6 months out to travel in 2022, and I have just returned from the trip 3 years later.
I have strong interests in nature, animals, music, travel and meeting new people - I am excited to hopefully contribute towards projects that align with these. I also hope to get involved in projects where I'm able to make a real impact and where I can connect with people.
Other than the interests mentioned above, I also really enjoy hiking, reading, food and learning new things.
New challenges are always welcome and I am enthusiastic, hard-working and adaptable.
I look forward to meeting you! -

More details about your skills
I am a quick learner and am receptive to feedback in order to understand how to improve. I am flexible and organised.
I'd hope to use transferable skills from teaching such as good communication skills, creativity and problem solving. I'm always happy to work independently or as part of a team.
Also I thoroughly enjoy playing musical instruments and have given several guitar and piano lessons over the last few years.
Overall I am highly motivated to achieve the best outcome that I can with any work that I do -
