Hi! I'm Matt :)

I am currently travelling all of South America and have already vistited Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Chile and am currently in Bolivia.

I am here to travel the world to learn about different cultures and develop some new skills along the way.

I am a positive and easy-going/relaxed individual who likes to socialise and can get on with anyone. I love to connect with others and am very interested people from all over the world with different backgrounds.
I have played a wide range of sports throughout my life and thoroughly enjoy the outdoors/connecting with nature. I stay fit through hiking, cycling and running (I have just completed a marathon!).
I also enjoy meditation and would really like to explore my spiritual side some more.
I am also keen to try out Surfing some more.

More details about your skills

I am always eager to learn and can guarantee to you I pick up new things quickly. I am young, fit and athletic and want to get stuck in.

I have been taught some gardening by my mother over the years, and my family has a greenhouse at home, so I am accustomed to the work. I do not have solidified skills, so I may need to be refreshed, but as above, I will most certainly pick it up quickly and I enjoy this type of work.
I love animals. I have grown up with cats and dogs, so I know how to handle / care for them. I can be very gentle with them until trust is gained. Happy to help in all aspects, a bit of poo does not put me off.
I have also been exposed to basic construction skills by my dad - he is a very skilled construction worker so I have seen all types of work throughout my life. Being young will hopefully help me pick up a task you may have quickly.

I am very organised and clean. A "type A" individual. I was taught all housework and cleanliness skills from a young age by by mother. I have lived away from home at University so can be self-sufficient if needed. I enjoy cooking and believe I can make some pretty nice food.

Native English speaker, so I am more than able to teach you English.
I have a degree in Chemistry and have been taught Biology/Physics to a high standard, so I am able to help teach Science to anyone willing.

Age

22

What else ...

I am an outdoorsy person - I like to hike, mountain bike and camp. I also love the water, swimming and various watersports.

I love animals and have had pets all my life. I am very interested in helping tend to animals on farms / in the wild or ones which have been harmed in some way.

Relatively spiritual, so would love to get involved in any meditation/yoga etc.

I have a qualification in Art, but haven't practiced in ages, so would love to take part in any art projects you may have.
