  • Description

    Hello there, I'm 24 and I'm currently in between my undergraduate and my masters degree, looking to travel the world, meet new people and follow my interests! Last year I travelled in canada and the US, and my favourite part of the trip was undoubtably a 2 month stint on a farm in Washington through workaway. Over the past few years I have been getting into sustainable farming practices, and it was great to put that into practice, and I loved it. I was staying in Spring, so I learnt mostly about preparing beds, planting and setting up irrigation, but I was also doing all sorts of general garden maintenance.

    I'm largely vegetarian and I enjoy cooking with seasonal ingredients, but also I am not at all picky. My biggest passion is Music without a doubt, and I like Art of all different types. I also like music of lots of different types (but definitely not all..!), from reggae to post-punk to techno.

    I reckon I'm a friendly and easy-going person who can fit in with whoever. I enjoy living more simply and definitely do not have high standards when it comes to facilities. Having said that, Its worth saying that I like to keep things clean and tidy.

  • More details about your skills

    I don't have any specific skills as such, but I would say I am a practical and hard-working person. I enjoy doing practical projects and like problem solving of all sorts. I have grown up in rural countryside and have always enjoyed doing jobs outside and helping in the Garden. I also have a fair bit of experience doing different manual labour jobs and am not afraid of a bit of hard-graft.

    I have also done quite a lot of voluntary work with Children, although it wasn't too difficult as it was mostly just playing with them!

  • What else ...

    I have some students that I give online tutoring lessons to, which is about 10 hours a week spread across 4 weekday mornings (no more than 3 hours a day) - so will need to be able to do this at the same time.
