Summary
I am 24 years old from the United Kingdom, currently on a Working Holiday Visa 417 (2nd year); I have a car and I'm happy to move. I have a versatile skill set from past roles and a strong work ethic. While not working I love exploring the outdoors and extreme sports (favourites currently: trail running, Climbing, Diving and Walking), otherwise I love photography, reading and exploring cultures. Currently learning Spanish. A future goal is to live in Italy.
