Description

Hi
My name is Gary and I am from Scotland.
I love motorbikes,travel and cats.
I currently work as a self employed live-in carer, helping people with physical disabilities, learning disabilities, Dementia, mental illness, Autism, OCD, addiction recovery, to live independently in the community.
I have previously worked as a chef/baker, barman, fruit picker, market researcher and charity fundraiser. I am adaptable, and can generally turn my hand to most things.

I am planning to escape the horrible Scottish winter later this year and travel to Morocco and Spain, do some volunteer work and hopefully improve my Spanish/French.
I am a native English speaker and have worked and travelled in Europe, India, Pakistan, Malaysia, Thailand, Australia, South America and Morocco.
In the past I spent a year travelling around South America on my motorbike, and look forward to returning there.

My volunteer experience includes assisting with conversational English in Spain and Peru, House and pet sitting in the UK. I also worked at a special needs centre in Portugal, where my job was mainly working with the animals in the petting zoo, although I also helped out with general maintenance, painting, diy, cooking etc.

Thanks
Gary
