Description
Hello!
I'm Oli, a 26-year-old from South East London. I am a bookseller by trade but I make up most of my time by playing with my band, painting, rock climbing, reading and watching films.
An avid Francophile, I've had many wonderful opportunities to explore France touring with my band, but have never travelled alone. This year I have started learning French in earnest and I'm keen to make long-lasting memories with Workaway hosts whilst honing my French skills (which, though I like to think of myself as a fast learner, are still very basic...).
I love creating in all senses of the word: drawing, painting, making sounds, conversing. But also enjoy quiet and meditation. I have just finished my first level of qualification to become a therapeutic counsellor and bring the skills I have loved learning to my interpersonal relationships.

Richard and Patricia kindly accepted my very last minute request to join them at their beautiful home outside of Toulouse and left me with an experience that I’ll remember forever.

He is well-organized, sensible and efficient, and has a lot of common sense and he can be entirely trusted to get on with things unsupervised.
He works well on his own and also as part of a team.
