    My main passion and what motivates me the most is getting to travel and visit amazing places around the world, while making unforgettable memories and connections with people along the way. I have always found that the happiest times of my life have been during the travels that I have been lucky enough to embark on so far and this truly motivates me to continue putting myself in positions to create new memories and new friendships amongst some of the most amazing settings our world has to offer!

    During my trip through Central America in 2021/22 I worked online as a remote English as a foreign language teacher through a platform called iTalki. I was able to obtain this role as I completed a Level 5 TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) course and then passed the interview process. During my time as an English teacher I taught hundreds of lessons to a range of different levels of English comprehension, often teaching multiple lessons to the same students and building up rapport and making great connections with my students. I am also actively learning and trying to improve my Spanish, which I picked up during my Central America trip and really enjoyed learning.

  • Quelles sont vos compétences ?

    I am a very extroverted and outgoing person, always able to make strong connections with people and become a great addition to a team from the get-go. This is due to me being a naturally sociable person, always willing to help out others and put in maximum effort in all of my roles!

    I have quite a vast amount of knowledge with hostel work, having worked in multiple different hostels in the past for long-term periods and helping them to progress and receive glowing reviews along the way! The following information details some of my previous hostel experiences:

    Pars Tailors Hostels, Barcelona, Spain - 2018, 2 month stay

    - Bartending
    - Cooking family dinners for guests
    - Organising events
    - Showing guests around the city - best tourist spots, bars, restaurants, view points etc.

    Habitat HQ, Melbourne, Australia - 2019, 2 month stay

    - Reception duties
    - Organising events and nights out for guests
    - Providing information on travel around the city or leaving to the next destination
    - Cleaning duties and keeping the social areas of the hostel in tip-top condition

    Hideout Hostel, Lake Atitlan, Guatemala - 2022, 3.5 month stay

    - Bar management including pricing and stock
    - Creating new areas of the hostel using raw materials, for example, we made an outdoor bar/hangout spot at the lakefront using old wood/bamboo/slabs from the neighbouring property
    - Helping to organise and set up festivals that were run by the hostel owners - including building bars and stages, as well as ticketing and promoting the events
    - Kitchen team - cooking delicious dinners for guests, including a massive Guatemala style Christmas feast!

    I started working at Hideout Hostel prior to them opening and I formed a team with three other workawayers that were given a great amount of responsibility as the owners had a lot of other business to attend to. We became a really close-knit team and took great pride in putting in maximum effort to get the hostel up and running. We ran the kitchen and the bar, creating the menus and procuring all of the necessary ingredients. We also promoted the hostel in nearby towns and spread the word of the opening to fellow travellers. By the time we left the hostel was operating fully and full of like-minded people which was a hugely rewarding experience.

    As well as that, I have a vast amount of experience in the hospitality industry, with several years spent working in bars/restaurants/events, in multiple different roles such as head bartender in cocktail bars and pubs, gaining a huge amount of knowledge of spirits and cocktails, as well as waitor, host and event co-ordinator.

    I have also previously worked in the renewable energy sector as a wind turbine technician where I would use aspects of mechanical and electrical engineering to find and remedy faults across multiple wind farms in the north of Scotland. During this time I gained invaluable hands-on experience using a wide array of different tools and methods.

    I am a very sociable person, always looking to hang out with people, make some nice food, have drinks, play games, watch movies etc. I also like to keep active and play sports such as football, tennis or just running or swimming where possible. I love the ocean, with swimming, surfing and diving some of my favorite hobbies.

    I also love wildlife and travelling to new countries and experiencing the exotic wildlife first-hand is one of my favorite things.
