More details about my language interests
I have a passion for languages because I love meeting new people from different parts of the world and I try my best to use my Spanish anywhere I can. I have attended nightly Italian classes to go one step further to try and expand my knowledge. I speak a little bit of French and I have experience teaching basic English to kids in Spain. Irish is next on the list!

More details about your skills

I am an adaptable and capable person, I have experience with food handling and customer service as well as experience with kids. My first language is English but I am also fluent in Spanish having studied abroad in Santander for one year, and I am currently learning Italian. I have previously worked as a camp monitor teaching English to kids in the North of Spain where I also stayed with a host family for the duration of that month with whom I developed a great relationship, I have visited them several times since. I love the outdoors and getting hands on with nature as I was part of my local Scout group for over 10 years helping run and organise camping trips and other events as well as local community sustainability and gardening projects. I also studied Physics at University because I love Maths and problem solving.
