Description

Hi there!

My name is Lily, I'm 19 and from the UK. I've just finished the International Baccalaureate and am taking a gap year before going on to study psychology. It goes without saying that I love travelling, and this is what I hope to do as much as possible in my gap year! I'm new to Workaway but excited to see what opportunities it may bring.

I'm a very outdoorsy person, be it hiking, winter/water sports or just hanging out at the beach - that said, I also love the buzz and vibrant nature of urban areas. I'm pretty outgoing in general, so I love meeting new people and getting stuck into new things.

What am I looking for on Workaway? Well, during the European winter, I'm thinking of something in a mountainous region with perhaps some skiing involved. Other than that, I'd love to visit a Spanish speaking country at some point to improve my language skills. Lastly, I'm an enthusiastic gardener so would love to learn more about this, especially food production and permaculture.

More details about your skills

I'm a native English speaker, intermediate Spanish and French. As far as work experience goes, I've had several jobs in hospitality and customer service, including in a restaurant, hotel and café. I've also had experience in cleaning, having worked in a hospital during Covid-19's peak in my country.

Less formally, I have babysat children of family friends and volunteered in a nursery which I really enjoyed. I'm also a keen gardener, keeping a vegetable patch in my garden and volunteering to help with the upkeep of the gardens of a local stately home. I love animals, looking after friends' pets when they were away, snakes at my school and helping out at the yard when I rode horses when I was younger. Lastly, I'm fond of cooking so very willing to learn more and try out new recipes!
