Hey 👋 I am Guy from England and love to travel and build bonds with meet new people.

I spent a lot of years working as a youth and community worker in the UK, this taught me to have a positive, open minded and understanding attitude towards the world and all people in it.
I am a social entrepreneur that has established 2 businesses and is working on others.
The UP-Cycle Shop uses recycled materials to create positive products that help reduce environmental impacts and a lot have learning out comes attached to each product.
The inspirational network uses art as a tool to inspire creativity, this is done through a range of projects and social engagements.

These organisations help me to inspire positive change within the world and support people and communities. I live with the belief that I can change the world and try to do so every day, in my own little way.

I have big ginger hair and crazy little dudes on my shoes that I take every where with me and give to the people I build connections with so they can send them on their own adventures. the have an instagram (thedudesadventures) if you would like to check them out feel free.

I participated in a lot of Erasmus+ youth exchanges and training courses and each one inspired something new in me and taught me new life lessons.

You can google my name to get some extra information if you like, I have some videos on youtube and some info on some sites about myself and the work that I do. (Guy Holness)

I hope to meet you and make new friends !
