  • More details about your skills

    Most of my experience with construction, mostly electrician but I’ve worked in a few different trades. I volunteered for a week with only one English speaker and 20 non-speaking volunteers and still managed to communicate and learn from another. I can cook, clean, garden, use computers and teach English at a low level.

    Im a moderate level guitarist so I can jam along with other musicians and very happy to teach people basic chords and strumming.

    Ive been bouldering a few years and have been outdoor climbing since the start of 2023 so im a noobie but very keen!
