Description
Hey! My name is Tom and I’m travelling around North East Asia, starting in Japan and going through into South Korea, Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, Nepal, India and Mongolia. I grew up in a tiny rural area in England and I've always wanted to see everything the world has to offer .

I would describe myself as a kind, put going passionate person with a good heart and an interest in meeting new people and doing new things. I love to learn, and I’m excited to learn new cultures and experiences. If you think you have a job relating to my interests please don’t hesitate to message! :)

I am a creative person, love photography, sewing/textiles, art, painting, software & digital design. I used to teach gymnastics, I love cycling, hiking and running. Also love all types of music, never leave without my headphones... Before I left home I was learning the guitar, I would love to get my hands on one !! I have 6 siblings, 2 dogs and a cat. (So I’m good with children and animals)

More details about your skills
Being a country boy at heart, I love anything to do with nature - hikes, animals, gardening, and being outdoors. One of my favourite things to do back home is going on solo day bike rides up/around the English mountains (see pics). I enjoy being hands on and don’t mind getting stuck in, either in planting, helping on a farm, or doing general maintenance work. As I grew up in a big family (6 siblings) I would say I’m great with kids. I also have two dogs and a cat at home - I’m good with animals too. I’m also a creative person… I studied photography and art at university so I am particularly passionate about capturing beauty around us through creative work (art, photography, craft) I’m easygoing, reliable, and always up for learning something new, especially if it has meaning and can bring people together :)

My experience with Vivienne and her amazing family was truly the most educational and incredible experience. Vivienne actually contacted me to stay with them as my profile seemed to fit what she was looking for, and I'm glad I accepted her request!! I stayed for a week (shorter than planned as my onward plan changed) and I did/saw so much. The… read more kids, Vovo and Remi, are the most intelligent children I've met. they both speak English and mandarin (vovo more as he's older) and there were many times I had to rely on him to translate between other locals we met and myself which humbled me ! I was lucky enough to go to his football class and gymnastics class which was so cool to see this from a Taiwanese perspective. I must say Vivienne put a lot of trust into me from the beginning as she let me take him myself to football class and it was so nice to see him play with his friends as well as inviting me to play with them too! I also taught him a little gymnadtics of my own, as well as drawing with him (and Remi too sometimes!) aaaand even teach him and his friend about shapes (via a shape book). My last day I got to teach a couple other children how to cook lasagna, and even though I'm not a good cook (and the lasagne was undercooked haha) it was truly so fun to show how to make a dish that's maybe less common in Taiwan. I'm very very grateful for all the opportunities Vivienne gave me and I learnt so much. The kids are wonderful and I even got to meet Vivienne's husband's wider family and enjoyed great food, and good conversation. (Btw Aping the husband is a little shy but I really think we bonded well towards the end!) They live in a beautiful area, very quiet and friendly with views of mountains and lots of trails nearby where you can use their bike to explore. We went to outings and I often felt part of the family. I really recommend workawaying with this family if you get the chance and you will both receive a great experience and also learn all the wonderful things Vivienne is working towards relating to her home schooling plans and super mum activities. One side note to say though is if your anything like me (a mixture of introvert and extrovert) the kids can be a little overwhelming after hours of playing with (mainly Vovo) so a simple explanation to him that you need a little break and he will understand! and then you can rest and come back down when you've recharged 😂 I will miss everyone!!!! thank you for this opportunity :)

(Excellent)
