Beschreibung
Hello, my name is Rob and I am passionate about nature conservation, music, surfing, gardening photography, hiking, history, travel, fishing.. the list goes on. Primarily, I thrive off of physical outdoors work, and have a very strong work ethic. I love to meet new people and will immerse myself in the cultures of the places I visit. I have travelled a lot in the past, but over the last year have fallen into the trap of office life. I am desperate to shake out of this routine and learn as much as possible from people that have managed to make a life for themselves off the beaten track.. with the hope to one day do the same myself.
I have completed a degree in Physical Earth Science at Swansea University which allowed me to work in an outdoor environment whilst improving my research skills and capacity for independent judgment. I have also carried out the Royal Horticultural Society Level 1 Course which which enabled me to learn about topics such as plant identification/health and explore my ecological interests further. After graduating with a 2:1 from university, I worked as a Lifeguard and Surf Coach at The Wave in Bristol for a number of years. I took great pleasure in welcoming newcomers to the sport and making surfing an accessible activity for all. I am a member of a band that has been performing and releasing music for over five years. I am responsible for organising our shows, producing social media content, and managing any other logistical elements. I have played shows regularly in Bristol, London and many music festivals, and take an enormous amount of joy in sharing my love of music with others. Currently, I work in Student Support at The University of Bristol where I help students navigate any issues they might be experiencing with their studies. We have all had to overcome adversity in our lives, and I take pride in helping others where I can.
However, I miss physical work in the great outdoors and have a keen desire to explore, learn new skills and meet like-minded people. I love the feel of my bones aching at the end of a hard day's work and having earned that evening drink with friends.Interessengebiete

I am very interested in learning Italian. I am lucky enough to have a friend who grew up in Italy, and was able to stay with them and their family for a couple of weeks last year. I fell in love with the country and it's people, and would love to learn more about their culture.Bereiche, die mich interessieren oder in denen ich anderen etwas beibringen kann

Was könntest du arbeiten?
I recently worked part-time on a Christmas Tree Farm, which demanded a high level of fitness due to there being lots of heavy lifting involved, in cold and wet conditions. I enjoy this type of work and find it especially rewarding to be able to keep fit whilst at work.
I have carried out volunteering with the following charities:
- One Tree Per Child; a charity that aims to enable every child in Bristol to plant at least one tree before leaving school. I thoroughly enjoyed working as part of a community group planting different species of trees.
- The Wave Project; helping young disadvantaged children improve their mental health through the use of surfing. I worked closely with adaptive surfers with additional needs, helping them achieve their surfing goals.
I graduated from Swansea University in 2018 where I gained a BSc Physical Earth Science degree with a 2:1 (Hons). My degree allowed me to work in an outdoor environment and by managing my time efficiently I continued with my interest in nature and the outdoors whilst meeting the course deadlines. In my dissertation, I had a particular focus on soil chemistry and how it affects vegetation types. I completed a comparative study of two varying rock types which involved soil sampling followed by laboratory analysis where I became accustomed to working with different chemicals and dilution methods. This further enhanced my analytical and research skills, whilst remaining active in an outdoor environment. I have undertaken the Royal Horticultural Society Level 1 course which enabled me to learn about topics such as plant identification/health and explore my ecological interests further. I have a strong understanding of numerous different computer systems and databases, including the MS Office suite, SharePoint, Workplace, Teams, amongst others.Alter

I love to cook and would be happy to do so throughout my stay. I share a house in Bristol with three friends and I love to put together a meal for the gang. Sharing good food, a nice drink and stories with friends is one of my favourite things in life. I also bake a lot of bread!

Rob brought great enthusiasm to learn new stuff with him and we always put extra time for those willing to learn.
During Robs time here, we covered a lot of ground, built a roof on the shed, chopped wood, surfboarded a huge pile of brambles away from the pool, repaired garden furniture,… read more
