Travel information

I am currently

Description

I grew up in a small farming town in California, u.s. in an immigrant community. Most of my interests center around immigrant/migrant communities & the intersection of health & policy. I've been traveling now for over a year through work exchanges & have really enjoyed getting to know local communities & support local projects. I most enjoy learning about sustainability, eco-techniques, and learning about intentional relationship-building through volunteering projects & local culture. I enjoy meeting new people & having deep conversations about life, food, travel, etc. I enjoy reading, especially historical fiction, being in nature, & dancing.

More details about your skills

I'm a quick learner, with a background in public health (management, educational workshops, small-scale & large-scale event planning etc.) & education (teaching preschool (classroom support); university-level math; & facilitating workshops (focus on nutrition)). I have volunteered in preschools since I was in high school & really enjoy working with children whenever I can.
Through different work exchanges, I have gained experience in general hospitality, including reception & basic maintenance. The majority of my work exchanges have been eco-tourism projects which blend my love for nature & sustainability with meeting people from around the world.
I also lived in the Colombian Amazon where I supported jungle tours as an English/Spanish translator, and am happy to support with any language or translation services.
Overall, looking forward to share any skills I have, & learn more within the Workaway community.

What else ...

I really enjoy reading & often spend my free time burying my nose in a book. I also enjoy doing puzzles, & listening to music in my free time. Usually a mix of indie folk, bachata, rock en español, or cumbias. I enjoy disconnecting in nature & enjoy hiking or finding the nearest trail to a local town, waterfall, or beach.
