I was born in England and have lived here all my life. I’m currently at secondary school completing my A – levels, which are science based subjects and hope to study biochemistry at university. Outside of school I take part in bird ringing, a volunteer run programme to help conserve and find out more about bird populations in the UK.
I have always found travelling to new places exciting and love to meet and talk to new people from other cultures and all walks of life. I think this programme is a great opportunity to do this and make lifelong memories as well as develop interpersonal skills.
I love being outside and love all animals in general! I also enjoy art, specifically drawing and watercolour painting, as well as running and swimming.
I have travelled to several places in my life, including Portugal and Spain when I was very young; I’m very eager to keep travelling and discover new places around the world, particularly in Europe and Southeast Asia.
