About me

I have a dry sense of humour and never get angry. When I do, throw chocolate at me and I will become tame again. I enjoy solitude and prefer small towns and the countryside to large cities. I am really a country bumpkin at heart and love being outdoors and working with animals. I love learning and sincerely believe that one dies when one chooses to stop learning. I adore cats and love dogs. I prefer getting lost in watching the flames of a cosy fire then the noise of a party. Yes, I'm an introvert, but that strange breed that really enjoys helping others whether is be customer support or listening to someone's woes.

Skills

I am about to complete my Bachelor of Consumer Science and need to get back to grassroots. I can do just about anything required of me. (Ask my current boss!) I want to experience other countries but do not buy into the tourist traps that organised tours are. I would die in a closed up environment and prefer spending most time outdoors, hugging and tending animals. I prefer to get my hands dirty and have found that office work is taking a toll on my psyche. I yearn for hard outdoor work and the smell of clean air.

Additional info

I am not a smoker, I have a drivers license, I am not a vegetarian and I have no allergies.
