Travelling
Description
I love to explore the world and find new experiences, big and small.
I'm especially interested in discovering other ways of living, whether that's alternative lifestyles, different ways of organising a community, or different cultural norms around the world. This is an important motivation for my trip - to learn from others and bring what I've learned back to my home in Scotland.
My plan is to try and travel in ways that allow me to connect with people in the places I visit, whether that be by couchsurfing, hitchiking or workaways. I want to be willing to offer my help where I can, in exchange for hospitality and the chance to live in new and interesting places.
I'm someone who finds joy in supporting others or working as part of a team. I love being active, whether through physical work, sports or just walking, but I like to find time for a little stillness in my day too.
I will be bringing my enthusiasm and willingness to learn and share wherever the road takes me :)

More details about your skills
I have a lot of academic skills (I studied economics and politics at university). I can read and write well and I have a few years experience working in project management so am good at planning, as well as using software like Excel.
I have also studied sports and remedial massage therapy, so I know a lot about the human body and how to train it, look after it and help it to heal. This has been my second job recently and maybe one day my full time career as I find it really interesting and enjoy working with people to help them become healthier.
I'm quite musical and can play the drums, as well as a little bit of guitar.
I love sports and have some ball skills and a lot of frisbee skills (I play ultimate and disc golf!)
