  • Description

    Ahoy!
    I am currently on an wild adventure across Java, I will then spend 5 weeks hiking around Georgia and finally will settle in Italy where I have obtained a Working Holiday Visa for one year!
    I have been planning on moving to Italy for some time now with the passion to learn Italian, emerse myself in Italian culture and explore the beautiful lands that will surround me. I envision myself working on a farm or within a community but I am so open to anything!
    I have done many things in my life that I believe make me a fairly versatile individual including; scuba diving and deckhand work, fencing, gardening/conservation and hospitality work among other things.
    I’m an extremely committed and loyal person and I’m enthusiastic about learning new skills.
    Some things that get me moving are gardening, sustainability & conservation, all types of sports, camping, hiking, back/bikepacking and of course live music.
    I’m so excited for what the future holds and can’t wait to get started whatever that may be!

  • More details about your skills

    I am a qualified horticulturalist, someone that works with plants. I have also worked as a gardener and have grown my own food for many years. I have worked a little bit in construction and fencing, on boats as a deckhand/scubadiver. I’m a fixer in general, whether it be carpentry, mechanical or plumbing I generally have an idea on what needs to be done.
