More details about my language interests
A fun fact about me is that I was born in France, so I understand and can speak French. I also studied Spanish at school, which I really enjoyed. I’m looking for any opportunity to practise or further develop either language while travelling.

More details about your skills

I’m a real sports enthusiast. I studied Sport Science at university for four years, which has given me a strong understanding of physical activity, wellbeing, and healthy lifestyles.

I really enjoy being with children and have been babysitting for neighbours’ kids since I was young. Through this, I’ve gained experience looking after children of various ages, helping with meals, playtime, and bedtime routines, while always ensuring they feel safe and supported.

I’m a huge animal lover. I grew up in a dog-friendly household and currently have two lovely (but rather large!) dogs — a labradoodle and a bernadoodle. I have more than 15 years of experience caring for dogs, including walking, feeding, bathing, and general care. I’ve also dog-sat and dog-walked for family friends and have some experience looking after cats too.

I’m a neat freak, genuinely enjoying cleaning and keeping spaces organised. I also have some experience with gardening, mainly maintenance, but I’m very keen to learn more — especially about growing fruits and vegetables. I’ve also done occasional odd jobs, such as painting rooms and sheds.

I’m a real foodie and enjoy being in the kitchen preparing meals. At university, I loved hosting dinners for friends and this is also reflected in my hospitality work experience. I’m always excited to try new dishes, learn about different food cultures, and add new recipes to my ever-growing recipe book

What else ...

I really enjoy board and card games. I play poker and am always happy to try to teach others - not just so I can win, you understand! I’m a big film fan, especially murder mysteries and rom-coms. I really feel at home near the ocean and beaches are my happy place. I hold a PADI Advanced Open Water diving qualification. I am looking to spend more time exploring the sea, such as trying out at surfing.
