Travelling
Description
Hello! I'm Adam, 28, and I'm excited to travel, learn and teach around the world.
In 2024 I left my job of 5 years writing policy for the UK's national space programme to make a more direct and local impact, but still doing what I can to help people.
My number one passion is simply learning. I love to immerse myself in new skills, each one giving me a new way of seeing and interacting with the world, then taking those skills and teaching them to others.
I am extroverted, confident, positive, clean and respectful, and want to expand my understanding of the world through connections with others. I believe strongly in being open, empathetic and proactive in seeking out new cultures, ways of life, and perspectives on life to take with me and hope I can impart some wisdom as well as I make my way through life.
I am looking to learn more about sustainable and balanced ways of living in nature to potentially use in the future for my own projects wherever I end up!

What else ...
I have been really enjoying climbing/bouldering for the past couple of years and would also love to pick up martial arts again where I can.
I enjoy reading, especially philosophy which is probably my favourite topic to talk about. People's reflections on life are one of the greatest ways to really understand them!
I love board games (including very specific and very long games) and in fact have designed a few of my own by myself and with friends. Alongside the board games I have run dungeons and dragons games for over 10 years(!) which I like to think makes me a good storyteller.
I have also trained and volunteered to work around London at night, helping to create a safe space for women and vulnerable people.
I also have been looking after my 2 amazing cats (who I will miss very much when I leave) and love animals!
