Description

Hi there!

My name is Robbie (19M) and I'm currently in my gap year, looking to study physiotherapy for 2025. During this year, I'm looking to gain as much real-world experience as possible- preferably in a country with better weather than the wet and grey England :)

I absolutely adore animals, and have spent all my life caring for them. My house may as well be a zoo, with: a dog, a cat, two rabbits, three guinea pigs and two tortoises! (I know I shouldn't have a favourite but dogs are my weakness)

I'm also very sporty, coming from a Tennis family, but I also play a lot of Football and go to the gym when I can. I support Chelsea... hopefully not a deal breaker.

I would most like to experience a different way of life, away from the modern comforts I have grown used to. I'd like to think this will cause a positive change for me, but I will just have to wait and see :)

More details about your skills

I'm an amateur Jack of All Trades, with a little bit of experience in all fields. However if there is something I don't know, I'm a quick learner and eager to please so I'll give it my all!

I am currently working at a Primary school, and previously worked as a junior tennis coach- so I can keep children entertained for as long as necessary :) Working in these environments improved my levelheadedness, allowing me to work calmly and efficiently under pressure.

Looking after animals is second nature for me; having 9 pets in one household. Essentially I'm not afraid of picking up poo and cleaning off dirt!! I have also worked with all sorts of dogs as a dog sitter, meaning I can adapt to the many different personalities a dog can have.

As a person though I am very talkative and not afraid to strike up conversation, especially with strangers :) In that sense I have good interpersonal and communication skills.
