Description

Hello !

I'm 26 years old heading out to SE asia for the first time in December for several months. I have work experience in many industries such as Hospitality (as a chef) , Support Work (with vulnerable adults), Labouring, Farmhand, Cleaning, DJing and other bits and bobs!

I'm super excited to learn about local cultures as this is my first time travelling. I've also read a lot on Buddhism & mindfulness and spent some time at local monasteries in the UK and I'd love to meet likeminded people. I'd love to see different ways of living/working and getting out of my comfort zone!!

In my free time I love exercising and being out in nature, producing electronic music, meditating, reading, and having quiet time to reflect by myself.

More details about your skills

I've got over 7 years experience working in kitchens, doing prep and service work in very busy/high stress environments, I love cooking and would love to learn new cooking skills.
The last few years I've spent working with vulnerable adults who have disabilities and learning difficulties such as Autism etc.
Throughout my adult life I've also done work on farms, cleaning jobs and labouring on building sites, and I'm physically fit.
I've also done a little bit of DJing and a Music Production degree and love being creative in my own space.

Where to start! Staying at Michelle's was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. When myself and James arrived we were welcomed very warmly, Michelle is very easy going and has a great sense of humour, and we had some great chats throughout the stay. Our sleeping arrangements were comfortable and Michelle also was very generous with the eating … read more

Rory and James were just delightful to host. They worked very hard demolishing walls,digging and sanding and helping out around the house. Great food was cooked by them both but Rory's pancakes were just outstanding. They also looked after our little doggie, Lyly, so very well. Thank you to both Rory and James for the vivacious energy that you … read more

Volunteering at Bill and Cam's was a pleasure from start to finish. Bill and Cam were very warm & welcoming and made myself and James feel very comfortable from the get go. The atmosphere whilst we stayed was lively, and we were lucky to enough to make strong bonds with the other volunteers who were there at the time, and there was always some … read more
