  • Description

    Hello! I am from a quiet, rural part of the UK (Somerset) and would like to see some more of the world, expose myself to different cultures, and meet interesting people. I am also currently in my first year of study at the University of St Andrews studying French, German, and Spanish, and I am keen to spend time in these countries in order to improve my level of language.

    I come from a home where I have been brought up to respect people and property and so would of course bring these values with me on any Workaway trip. We also have two cats and two dogs, so I have some experience with animals.
