Travel information

I am currently

Description

I enjoy the outdoors, volunteering, meeting people and new experiences. I'm curious. I love warm weather, beautiful scenery, nature, good food and good company. I like to keep busy and enjoy variety. I'm about to take voluntary redundancy to allow me to fulfill my need to travel again and this time, visit Nicaragua & Costa Rica which have been on my radar for the last few years.

More details about your skills

With a lot of life & business experience I'd say I was a generalist rather than a specialist, and a practical person. I'm very versatile, flexible and adaptable. I'm quite strong, fit and a hard worker and I pay attention to detail. I'm tenacious and I get things done. Particular skills include cooking, cleaning, gardening, decorating, basic diy/maintenance - I have facilities and business support experience. I also have a lot of hospitality experience - including reception, waitressing, bar duties, coffee making, restaurant experience and marketing knowledge - albeit not social media! (personal preference). I've done a lot of volunteering over the last few years, including a game reserve in S Africa! and a lot of local festivals, as well as for my local community maintaining public footpaths and bridleways. I'm independent and can be left to get on with things but am also happy to be part of a team. I'm a good communicator and very happy to learn new skills and meet new people.
