Descripción

Hi! I am a 23 year old solo female traveler from London. This is my first big trip!

I am a specialist decorator and tree surgeon who loves art and the outdoors. I'm adventurous, a super hardworker and have a passion for physical activity and exploring nature. Over my travels I have found a new love of hiking and also enjoy mountain biking (can be a bit of an adrenaline junkie and generally hate to sit still). I love a hands on approach to work - making, building, creating... basically getting creative in anyway!

I also have a degree in History of Art and Anthropology and am driven by learning about various different cultures, their customs and history across the world. In particular I am fascinated by indigenous cultures and am super keen to be opened up to a more nature-oriented way of life, one that is opposed to the hustle and bustle of modern city life and technology!

However most of all I want to get into the nitty gritty of the backpacker lifestyle. I want to return from my travels having learnt new skills, seen places in a more authentic way, and met and interacted with people from a vast array of different cultures!

I am only fluent in English at the moment but am super keen to improve my Spanish throughout my travels in order to have more in depth conversations with locals and learn more about their culture!

Que habilidades tienes?

In London I have been working as both a specialist decorator and tree surgeon.

The first included painting murals and creating paint effects… so I’m super handy with a paintbrush and love getting creative in any sort of way! I've got a steady hand and love lettering so I have recently been getting super into sign painting and would love to practice these skills!

In my tree surgery career I have completed both a chainsaw course and climbing/aerial rescue course, as well as general groundsman work. All of these involved fearlessness, as well as a high level of physical fitness and work ethic, which I am keen to bring to my volunteering. I would also looooove to extend these skills into carpentry and/or bio-construction if given the opportunity. I've been super inspired by all the amazing structures I've encountered throughout my travels (particularly in the use of bamboo).

Algo más...

I consider myself a total sea addict, I love swimming and have recently completed my PADI course in Australia. I'd love to fuel my need for adrenaline by getting into some water sports (particularly kite surfing) or having a go at sailing!

Although I am not vegan or vegetarian I do have a preference to healthier, more plant-based food using local produce. I would be interested in getting into this type of cooking, as well as learning more about the culinary culture of the various places I visit! In particular I am a great lover of all things seafood!

I also used to play the guitar and am super keen to pick it back up! I have loved experiencing different music genres throughout my travels, particularly Cumbia in Columbia and Samba in Brazil (was blown away by the drumming in Salvador).
