  • Description

    I am a passionate traveller always looking for the next new experience and discovery. I am a qualified English teacher, with a 120 hour TEFL qualification. I enjoy immersing myself in different cultures, experiencing their traditions first-hand, exploring their landscapes and beautiful locations and trying their traditional foods. I love hiking and nature. Through Workaway I want to find good causes to support and also an opportunity for myself to learn a bit about other cultures and countries.

  • More details about your skills

    I hold a BA (hons) in English Literature and Creative Writing. I love to share my passion for literature and storytelling with others in creative, communal spaces. I am driven, self-motivated and willing to take on any challenge with a flexible approach. I am a fast learner and I always try to be critical of my own assumptions and the limitations of my perspective. I have excellent organisational skills and have experience in leadership and team management.

    I am a athletic person, currently focussing on long distance running, and as such can handle physical, enduring work. I have four months of experience teaching English to young children in Vietnam. I enjoy working with animals. I have a lot of experience with customer service.
