  • Description

    I am a recent graduate from the University of Edinburgh, and want to see some of the world before I get a 'proper' job! My first destination is New Zealand.

    I am passionate about environmentalism and conservation, and love the Great Outdoors. I also adore animals, I grew up with dogs and horses and don't mind getting my hands a little dirty!

    I love to learn, I am interested in culture, language, ecology, and anything else you are able to teach me.

  • More details about your skills

    I am a hard worker, and don't mind getting my hands a little dirty!

    I have just graduated from the University of Edinburgh with a first in Art, so would love to get stuck into some creative projects.

    Over the last 5 years I have run a small business selling vintage clothing. This started online, but has migrated also into organising events and 'pop-up-shops'. I have also run the social media for this business, which has given me experience in Instagram and TikTok, and using these platforms to promote a business.

    I also have experience riding and taking care of horses, and grew up surrounded by animals (we had a livery which included goats, sheep, cows, alpacas), and had pet chickens, dogs, and cats. I had a classic countryside upbringing on a smallholding, my mum always encouraged me to help with the gardening, odd jobs like chopping wood, mucking out, and with the animals.

    I love being outdoors, I am independent, fit and practical, and will have a go at anything. I love learning new skills and challenging myself.

    24

  • What else ...

    I love to read, and listen to audiobooks. I am also an avid podcast fan and will listen to anything to do with art, history, politics, and culture.
    I love card games and would be happy to teach/ learn any new ones. I am a little (very) competitive!

    I don't currently play any team sports but would love to get stuck in, I have previously played hockey, netball, cricket, and rounders, but again would love to learn more!

    I don't drink, smoke or take any drugs.

    I really enjoy cooking, I don't have any commercial experience but am Head Chef at home and love to try new recipes and cultures.
