Travel information

Description

Hey, I'm Jonny from London, UK. I'm super laid back and easy to get along with. I work hard and enjoy meeting new people and having funny experiences together. My main hobbies are music making and silly game playing, so would be cool to bond with others who are similar. I love animals and I am a bit of a thrill seeker sometimes. I'm a very liberal guy and hope to meet similar people on my travels.

I grew up in the English countryside and spent most of my childhood in nature. I have a degree from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) in environment and development studies, hence I have learned a lot about sustainable development and environmental justice. I have since worked in politics and in law focusing on environmental and human rights issues. I am a very strong writer and reasonably good statistician.

I am looking for opportunities to learn new skills, experience alternative ways of living, and meet interesting people. I'd love to be a part of community projects which foster creativity in their approach to problems and inclusivity with local communities and the natural habitat. I understand that many of these positions will involve some difficult manual work, and I am keen to be involved in this way. I am very fit and healthy (and rather tall); hence I will be able to help with any sort of strenuous manual labor. However, I am also keen to be involved in any administrative, research, teaching or creative positions that may be available.

Ultimately, I am very keen for any opportunity that presents itself. I am confident, respectful, and independent. I thrive on new experiences, and I have a lot to offer future hosts as well as a lot to learn.
