Summary
I am turning 17 this year and am looking at getting a part time job. I am hoping to be going to University in 2 years' time and so need to start saving for that. I love all things outdoors; fly fishing, sea fishing, tramping and hunting. As well as cooking, sports and spending time with my mates I am reliable, confident, polite and always try my best at everything I do. I live in town and so most places are easily accessible to me.
