I done French and German at high school so a little rusty but could pick it back up quickly. I also use sign language and makaton which helps with communication difficulties.

About me
Hello 
I'm a petite lady with lots of colourful tattoos. I'm very much influenced by 50s/60s vintage style and love rock and roll.
I'm very outdoorsy and love climbing hills/mountains and mountain biking. Last year I also started yoga and Pilates and find this very relaxing.
When indoors I love to read...anything. Also quite studious and love researching things. My sister is very inspirational in my life. She is a wheelchair user and has inspired me to want to help others similar to her. She comes to my house in Glasgow once a month and we tend to go out for dinner and try new activities and go adventures. She's great company.
At the moment I'm hoping to take a year out and travel experiencing more cultures and learning new skills. Then I will return to full time studying to complete a degree in speech and language therapy.
Preferred location
I am hoping to travel worldwide and experience different cultures and adventures. There's no place in the world I wouldn't want to go
Skills
I would say my main skills include working with people with disabilities. I am trained in epilepsy, gastrostony feeding techniques, diabetes and well experienced with people with autism and deafblindness. I am a quick learner and keen to learn new skills including horticultural activities,
Additional info
I am not a smoker, don't have a drivers license, I am a vegetarian and I have no allergies.
I am an animal lover but allergic to cats, dogs and horses. I take antihistamines to combat this though so no worries.
