Hello! Hola! Bonjour!
I have graduated University last year having studied Modern History and Politics, and am on my travels around Europe! 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 children and animals in particular, 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!
The Covid-19 situation has meant that my travelling has been put on hold for a few months, but I am looking for a placement in July and/or August as I hope travel restrictions will be lifted. I would love to gain experience with Workaway before I begin working for the UK government in September.
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 China, America and all around Europe! My thirst and desire to travel/work has brought me to Workaway, where I would love to spend the months of July and August 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 fluent in English 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.
My hobbies and interests!

I will be travelling via plane rather than car, and therefore if your host home is far away from the airport, I would like instructions on how to get to your house.
