Description

Hi everybody. I'm James from the UK.

I'm excited to start a new adventure, meet new people, and get hands-on experience in hospitality. I love working with people, I work hard and I'm always fun and approachable.

I love traveling, and my favourite pastime is exploring the countryside and meeting local people. I'm looking forward to working at a hostel where I can be part of the team and contribute wherever I’m needed — whether it’s behind a bar, welcoming guests, or helping with day-to-day tasks.

I’ve worked as a teacher before and loved making my students smile and have a fun time — there’s something really satisfying about giving people a good experience. This is something I will enjoy ewually at a hostel.

Outside of work, I love cycling and rock climbing, and I’m always keen to try something new — surfing and diving are next on my list!

I’m excited to explore more of the world, learn about different ways of life, and bring positive energy and everywhere I go.

More details about my language interests
Everywhere I go I try to pick up a few words. Whilst the main language I'm learning is Vietnamese, I've started learning some very basic Albanian, hoping to communicate a little bit with local people. I love when people teach me about their culture through teaching me their language. I have about 2 year of experience teaching English. Whilst I'm looking for something none teaching related this time, I would always be happy to help anyone with their English in my spare time.

More details about your skills

Through traveling and starting a new life in Vietnam I've become really good at working in lots of new, different environments.
