Description
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.Interests
