Descripción
I am from the UK. My professional experience is in the charity and development sector, working for 5 years for an international NGO (Plan International) and most recently 1 year working for a social integration charity (The Challenge) based in London.
I've done many volunteer roles abroad before, from 2017-2019 I spent 1 and a half years travelling and living abroad and doing different volunteer jobs, many through Workaway. Everything from helping a nomadic family on the Mongolian Steppe, working in a cinema in Cambodia, supporting nuns in the Tanzanian countryside or working for a marine conservation charity in Indonesia.
I am a friendly and easy-going person, able to adapt to new situations and to take on any challenge to the best of my ability and with a smile on my face. I love travelling and have visited different countries from a young age.
I love to exercise to maintain a high level of fitness and regularly play sport such as football and tennis. I have a big love for animals and nature and would love an opportunity to do work involving animals. I would also relish the opportunity to learn new skills and to take on new challenges.

I had a great time here for 2 months here. Nestor and Orlando made it feel like a home, they were very relaxed hosts, and I met lots of other nice volunteers here during my stay. Some days the work could be hard, others days it was very chilled, depending on the number of dogs staying in the hotel. Be prepared to get dirty and physically tired. To… read more

I really wanted to give this review 5 stars because the Altai and the family that she set me up with were all great. But I had to knock off 2 stars because for the first 2 and a half weeks I was there I didn't get to go out to the countryside except for a couple of day trips. During that time I was in an apartment in town and didn't have much to… read more

Always takes pleasure in meeting and learning from new people. I spent a few weeks in the monastery with the Sisters in Karatu which is a lovely peaceful place. Then we ended up travelling to all… read more
