Speaks

I pick up languages quickly but have not formally studied any. I learn bits and pieces from my international friends and really enjoy this! I would love to learn some of your language while I stay.

About me

I am a very passionate martial artist - mainly Ryukyu kemp, but also more recently taiqi, qigong, brazilian jiu jitsu, muay thai, and for a short time bagua.
This lead me to study acupuncture and Chinese medicine, which is my current career. I love this job and really, deeply enjoy helping people. I also studied a bachelor of arts in english literature, philosophy and criminology.
Other interests include acrobatic yoga, yoga, writing, and music - I am trying to learn to play guitar at the moment.
Growing up I spent a lot of my holidays on my grandparents farm and so have spent a lot of time around animals and really enjoy working with them. I am hoping to wwoof on a horse ranch at some stage to properly learn about care, management and riding of horses.
I also love elephants and hope to work with them while in Thailand!
I also hope to learn about sustainable farming, building and living on my travels so when I settle down somewhere I can build my own home, farm, and steam room!
I am a passionate, friendly, hard working person who loves to travel and learn about different cultures and people. I pick things up quick and love learning new skills.

Skills

My current career is in acupuncture and Chinese medicine, but while studying this I have worked just about every part time job a student can have.
I have worked laboring jobs, gardened, painted, provided home help, looked after children, cleaned, cooked, ironed, tutored, and taught a wide range of things including self defense classes, taiqi, qigong, and martial arts.
I learn very quickly and enjoy learning new skills.
