Descrição

update:
I'm at 'home' in Liverpool, uk for a short while and would be interested to meet up or make friends with fellow travellers. my old friend circle from pre-travelling days don't quite understand me in the same way anymore because I've changed a lot. I miss the friends I make when I'm travelling - the mindset and general outlook and attitude to life seems to resonate a bit differently to my home friends...it's a bit more 'me'. so if anyone wants to grab a tea or coffee or do any sightseeing or something, let me know!

I am quite adventurous and like to push myself to be out of my comfort zone. I love to be in peaceful, natural surroundings, where I can connect to myself and the world around me without the chaos of hustle and bustle of a city. I love to be active, either walking/hiking, yoga, horse riding, swimming outdoors, or outdoor activities such as gardening or caring for animals. I took a break from my desk job in Liverpool, UK and have spent the past 15 months travelling to wherever feels right to be. So far I have spent time in Europe, the Middle East, and recently Asia. I love to draw and paint, and have completed murals for some families I have stayed with so far, and gifted smaller paintings to those around me. I like to spend more time in a place and learn about the culture and daily life. Learning new languages doesn't come easily to me but I like to try! I like time alone to meditate or just 'be', taking in the sights and sound of the world around me, and I love to balance that with spending time with kind and honest people, hearing about their experiences and sharing my own.

Quais são suas habilidades?

Previous volunteering experience includes helping with housekeeping duties at a desert camp in Jordan: this involved looking after tourists, helping in the kitchen with food preparation and traditional cooking, cleaning bathrooms and sleeping/living areas, collecting firewood, lighting the fire each morning and evening, looking after camels! I painted a mural for a new hot air balloon office in the local village, and a couple of other painting jobs too. I spent time with members of the family, getting to know the dynamics and learning about the culture and how to be respectful when visiting or greeting the men and women of the families.
I helped to look after horses at another nearby camp in the desert - riding, grooming, feeding, and mucking out.
I have helped with basic housekeeping and taking care of guests at a few hostels that i've stayed at.
I have helped to write accommodation descriptions for properties I have stayed at, to help improve their earning potential (for example on air bnb or booking com sites). I have helped with setting up new accounts too.
I am qualified in some holistic therapies and (when appropriate) have offered/given treatments if I feel the person may benefit.
Most recently, in India, I have completed a number of indoor and outdoor murals at a newly-opened hostel, which has helped to promote their business and gain local attention. At the same time I helped to welcome new guests if they arrived when the owner was away.
I have computer skills, and although it is not my favourite thing to do, I am happy to help out a little here and there.
I have personal experience of looking after a home, cooking, caring for animals, driving, gardening, basic DIY, painting and decorating.
I have given fitness and yoga sessions to local groups over the past few years.
I have organised and provided art therapy sessions with basic materials and techniques, but always with successful outcomes.
