About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm traveling the Americas! Arriving in New York by cargo ship (December 2011) and then going from there.... I'm new so don't have any references but i am very nice!

ABOUT ME

I am a 26 and I live in London. I have been living here for two years and before that I lived in Norwich and before that I lived in San Francisco. I love writing and making things and for work I have always worked with children. I am really happy traveling and making new friends but also love the security and warmth of a home.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Many!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach English, am learning Spanish- and would love help.
Having worked with children with special needs for the two years I can teach a bit about what its like and what the issues are especially for someone interested in development through play. From experience and training I can offer knowledge specifically about young people with autism.
