Description

(Open to all kinds of opportunities in mid to late August! Please contact me directly as I will be free between 16 and 31 August).

Hello!

I have completed my Masters at Bath University in International Development with Conflict and Humanitarian Action, and am looking for volunteering opportunities to teach English, do gardening and exchange cultures amongst many other hidden talents I have! I am currently working for the government in the Migration/Border Security field.

I am a physically fit man who is willing to be involved in any kinds of projects where I can both learn about and help others where they need it. I have much experience in looking after, where I have worked in schools, I currently manage 2 children's football teams and have helped run a local youth group for 5 years to name a few things!


My travelling experiences!

Originally from Oxford, I moved to Wales around 15 years ago and since very young, I have been able to travel all other the world. Places I have been include Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya, India, China, America and all around Europe! My thirst and desire to travel/work has brought me to Workaway, where I would love to spend working on an inspirational, interesting project or working with a family. I would love to share the experiences I have had so far travelling with a host, and I hope to learn many things about different cultures!

I am a native English speaker and can speak some Welsh! I am currently learning Spanish and French, and with Workaway I am hoping to further enhance my language skills. Developing my language skills will really help me in my future career pathway, because I aspire to work abroad for an NGO such as UNICEF or British Red Cross.
