Salemyetsizbe, my name is Sam and I am very excited to work in Kazakhstan! I am kind, adventurous and empathetic. My experience covers counselling people with drug problems, case management, therapeutic support and advocacy for Aboriginal Australians who have committed crimes. I am passionate about helping people and can form connections regardless of culture. I am fit and have worked in physical jobs such as labouring and removals. My dream is to work and ski in Kazakhstan this winter! Raqmet

About Me
I like to stay fit and enjoy hiking, camping, swimming, running, mountain biking, surfing, anything outdoors! I play guitar and drums and enjoy playing with other people. I have tried acting and improv classes which are heaps of fun! I’m interested in people and my work in counselling is fulfilling for me due to a desire to connect with people on a deep level. I’m interested in personal growth and connecting with other people.
