Hi there!

My name is Richard I'm a 21 year old, who has recently graduated with a BA in International Politics and International History. Having got to the end of my degree, I feel now is the perfect time to volunteer and travel. Having been lucky enough to go travelling when I was I child, I have already been given a taste of the larger world around me rather than just my small London bubble, that I call home. I have traveled a lot through Europe, North Africa, the Middle East and North America, spending 6 months living on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada. Given this small sample of the big wide world, now I feel is the right time to explore so much more of it.

I enjoy meeting people from every walk of life and look forward to all the new adventures and opportunities that living and working abroad can afford me. I feel now is the best time of my life to fully throw myself into everything and anything.
