Description

Hi, my name is Lily, I'm 22 from Manchester. I would describe myself as friendly and outgoing and above all else I want to make friends and experience a new culture. I'm always down for a new experience and willing to try anything. I spent last summer volunteering and working in a hostel in Albania. Alongside normal hostel duties I led a tour of the local area and ran a weekly pub quiz. I love to travel and I always love a social hostel and meeting new people. I have worked in a hotel for several years while at University so have lots of experience in hospitality and ensuring guests have a great stay.


I don't have many special talents but I am happy to get suck in and help with anything. I love the outdoors and water sports, I grew up sailing and hiking. I have always wanted to learn to surf and work with boats. I love cooking and have done web management and social media marketing roles in the past as well. I also have teaching experience and have volunteered teaching hockey in South Africa for three months.

More details about your skills

Last summer I spent several months working in a hostel in Albania undertaking reception, cleaning and tour guide duties making sure all the guests had an unforgettable stay and had all their needs taken care of! I have also worked as a hotel receptionist alongside university where I was responsible for creating bookings, welcoming guests to the hotel, checking in and out procedures as well as upselling rooms and activity packages. I love meeting new people and would describe myself as extremely friendly and outgoing. I do also have experience running social media accounts for NHS Cheshire Clinical Commissioning Group, writing weekly blog posts and newsletter articles as well as supporting a video advertising campaign for medicines waste. I've done some building and basic DIY while helping renovate a house although I am by no means an expert!

What else ...

I love sports of any kind and enjoy playing hockey, football and watersports. I'm always looking to try a new sport or activity the weirder the better. I am an alright cook and often cook for my flat mates and friends but nothing fancy or particularly difficult. I also love dressing up and am always down for a good laugh (see last photo of me as Shrek).
