Descripción

I have updated to a couple account but David is too busy to travel at the moment so I'm looking to volunteer as an individual. It's been some time since I last volunteered but I've still been travelling, sometimes on my own and other times with my family. My time in Peru was amazing, the hostel was well run and I managed to tour around the country before heading to Bolivia and helping out over carnival. The owner was incredibly generous with time off so all the volunteers managed to watch the carnival and join in the fun. My months in Rwanda and Uganda were eye opening, I thoroughly enjoyed my time there, helping out at a school and also at a foundation for teenage mothers which was highly rewarding. My time in Zambia a few years ago was incredibly rewarding too, the children were a delight to teach and always had a smile on their faces. I have also volunteered in Trinidad and have returned five times as I made so many friends! Botswana saw me helping out at a backpackers in the most wonderful setting and I certainly saw the surrounding area as I travelled with some of the guests with the blessing of the owner. My volunteering in the UK saw me looking after a lovely gentleman with Parkinsons on the stunning Isle of Skye, helping a busy couple in Essex and working with a great family in the Cotswolds at the family pub. I’m more than happy to help in a bar, restaurant, kitchen (either domestic or commercial,) with any childcare and housework and anything else that needs doing. I have worked for numerous years in education and the hospitality industry and enjoy talking to people and giving the best customer service possible. I’m very easy going, get along with people of all ages, am flexible with volunteering hours and don't mind if plans are changed last minute. I'm always happy to help with a smile on my face and try to go that extra mile. Making others happy makes me happy.

Algo más...

I love playing board games and card games. I enjoy watching films, listening to music and visiting places of interest but am equally happy with peace and quiet. I really like talking to people and finding out about their lives. I’m a good organiser.
I like to cook with fresh ingredients and learn different recipes. I’m also interested in art and history.
I learned British Sign Language some years ago so would probably pick that up quickly again.
