Description
Hey I'm Sam, a 24 year old male from the north of England.
I recently worked away at an eco-construction project in Mexico. Here I enjoyed learning about earth construction, as we built a house and living quarters with adobe: sand and dirt.
In 2017 I spent some time in Tanzania, hiking and supporting a project to improve the supply of victuals to a primary school near the base of Mt Kilimanjaro. My experience of having a meaningful project as a focal point of an expedition was extremely positive and for me is a big reason for joining workaway.
Both projects were enjoyable for me, but the community aspect of my work in Tanzania was particularly rewarding, and as I reminisce over this experience I realise it is something I wish to chase more of.
I love being outdoors, and my main sports are rock climbing, hiking and running.
I'm also a very introspective person, who enjoys reading, pondering, and reflecting on interactions I have with new people. I hope through travelling I will have time to do lots of these things, and to meet many new people I hope to call friends.
