Travel information

I am currently

Activities i am interested in:

I'm interested in getting to know local people and get inspiration from the lives of others. I enjoy experiencing places by walking or cycling, getting to see live music and being outdoors.

Description

I'm looking forward to cultural and learning experiences as I travel, experiencing local life and finding real connection and contribution. I've worked in IT for my whole career and am now looking for a lifestyle that creates more connection and meaning.

I enjoy getting to know people and understanding different perspectives in life. My friends often tell me I'm good with people and I'd like to explore some teaching at some point. I especially enjoy finding likeminded people to connect with as I travel.

I've had experience helping my family on their dairy farm, building fences,sheds and being the general farm hand. I've also done a lot of pet sitting, taking care of mainly dogs. I enjoy being outdoors and would like to get back into trail running.

More details about your skills

I've spent a career working in IT, such as working with teams to help them communicate and work together effectively. This makes me the problem solver for anything related to computers or electronics in my family :)
I've got some DIY skills from renovating my house a few years ago and have also done some farming work, doing basic jobs like milking and fencing.
