Description
Hello Workaway hosts!
My name is Amber, I'm an Aussie and 23 years old. I'm on a quest exploring the world and exploring my place within it. Living and growing outside the confinement of societies normal 9-5.
I am enthusiastic to learn from different people, in different places about different things and in turn, learn different things about myself :-)
I love to meet new people and share stories and laughter.
I hope that you feel a connection to me through my profile, and that we can learn from each other if you choose to host me 🌝🌱
Here's my life journey in a nutshell 🥜...
At 19 I was living off the grid on an organic blueberry farm picking fruit.
I then moved to an island, K'gari (Fraser Island), to live and work for 6 months. Its the worlds largest sand island so i would spend my time going on 4wd adventures and created some of my closest friendships.
I then set off on a 2 year solo backpacking trip around Europe where I had such a wide range of experiences, hardships and magical moments and learnt so so much along the way. I spent a lot of time volunteering on permacultre farms and communities, learning the skills and the knowledge to live my own life in alignment with the nature around me.
I spent 2024 back in Australia having some family time and saving my pennies before coming to work in scotland this summer just passed.
What's now and next...
I am a new yoga teacher - yin, hatha and vinyasa - finding my path. I would be more than happy to share with you or learn from you!
My travel style...
Spontaneous, slow, lots of volunteering, hitchhiking, house sitting, collaborating with other travellers along the way 🌏🛵💨
Why I choose to volunteer...
Travelling to lots of new places is great, but no experience can compare to when you stay in one place for a bit longer, living and interacting with local people and becoming familiar with the local environment. It allows you to learn more and create deeper connections to the people and place around you. The mutual bond between volunteers and hosts of sharing knowledge and experiences is very special within itself.
Heres a summery of some the volunteering experience I have (not all organised through workaway)...
Permaculture/eco farms in Croatia, Slovenia, Turkey and Portugal.
Hostels in Portugal and Turkey.
