Activities i am interested in:
I am currently working as a Tribe Leader at The Bushcraft Company in England until October. After, I am keen to return to South America to continue teaching English and practicing speaking Spanish.
Description
I have lived in the UK for my whole life, so a big passion of mine is to live in interesting places and meet new people whilst there. During my time away, I hope to improve my Spanish and pick up new practical skills. I enjoy being in nature, especially in the mountains or by the sea.

TeachingMore details about your skills
Since finishing my bachelors degree in chemistry, I have spent the last 3 years as a high school science teacher in Leeds. Not only has this helped me develop my communication skills, but now I am also much more confident working as a team and managing large groups of people.
During school holidays, I have spent time volunteering at a yoga retreat in the south of Spain. The retreat is completely off grid, with its own private water system and electricity supply (generators and solar panels). Whilst working there, my job was head of maintenance. This mainly involved: managing water and electricity systems, servicing generators, cleaning pool, gardening, making campfires, cooking, cleaning, etc.
Since being in Latin America, I have worked at a hostel in Bogota (Colombia) as a receptionist / cleaner. I have also worked on a farm in Antioquia (Colombia). I worked behind the bar at a hostel in Rio de Janeiro (Brasil) and at another hostel in Montañita (Ecuador). I taught English in the Ecuadorean Amazon near Puyo.
In Spain I taught English in Galicia.Age
