Description

Hello there,
My name is Gwion. I'm 23 years old and originally from a small town in North Wales, UK. I have recently graduated from university and currently solo in Canada for 2 years to experience a new chapter of my life. I'm excited to meet new people, embrace diverse cultures, and explore rural as well as urban adventures Canada has to offer.

I'm a hardworking, ambitious and fun individual who always has a smile as well as a resilient and positive outlook on life :)

More details about my language interests
Welsh is my native and first spoken language. Additionally, I am also fluent in English. I am very interested in learning French further, in addition to any other language which would enhance my linguistic knowledge. I’m very accustomed to fit in many communities, whether that was being in university or in high school. I’ve integrated with English communities throughout my life and I’m used to doing that. Since I’ve been speaking Welsh my whole life, fitting in with English communities has helped me to adapt and I believe that I’d fit well to new surroundings by adapting and introduce myself as being an approachable and likeable individual. I'd be happy to help others to learn English as well as share some valuable insights into the Welsh language as well.

More details about your skills

Firstly, I am a quick learner. If I am faced with a challenge, I always deliver a can-do and positive attitude by utilising my problem-solving and communication skills.
This became evident during my employment as a Front Desk Agent at a hotel in Blue Mountain Ski Resort, Ontario. My creative personality enabled me to think on the spot on how to tackle unique customer-service scenarios with motivation and determination.

2 years ago, I spent my best summer ever at a children's summer camp in Algonquin Provincial Park. I mostly supervised individuals between 9-12 years old where I was able to cater different skills for each age group. For example, I had the opportunity to go on a 3-day canoe trip where I motivated them to develop their teamwork skills during map reading, problem-solving when portaging between lakes and communication when setting up camp.

I am not a stranger to any work. I believe that by having an infectious smile at work makes a difference.

I'm looking forward to connect with you and discuss my skills and experiences further :D

What else ...

- I've always loved the outdoors! Growing up in North Wales enabled me to experience lots of hiking, cycling, climbing, paddle-boarding and adventuring into natural beauty and wonderful landscapes. This is one of the reasons why I came to Canada as I wanted to broaden my horizons to experience an abundance of landscapes this beautiful country has to offer.
- I have a passion for product/graphic design, arts and crafts, photography, as well as getting involved in creative and fun projects. With my creative personality, I feel learning new things is such a gift to share with others.
- One of my hobbies is my love for music. I come from a musical family which has enabled me to experience all types of music and develop my love to popular genres such as pop, country, rock, classical etc.

THINGS THAT I WOULD LOVE TO LEARN AND DEVELOP:
- Be an assistance or apprentice to an individual that holds a valuable skill. I would love to perfect a craft that's important to share with others and be passionate to inherit.
- Woodworking, Jewellery-making, Animal care, Learning the guitar/ukulele, Glass-blowing, Basketball, Sailing...the list goes on!

I'm a great company to be around. As my close friends would say, I'm kind-hearted, outgoing and dedicated.
