Hello! I am Lorna 😄
Whilst I am travelling around Asia, I'm very keen to get off the 'tourist track' and want to immerse myself in the different local cultures and try to understand the local way of life. It's alsp important to me that I give back to the local communities I visit in exchange for getting to visit.
I have tutored children in English in a few jobs, after doing my degree in English Literature - so I'd be really happy to help with English teaching.
I love being around nature, and would love to learn more about agriculture and farming. I practice yoga and meditate most days, and I would love to deepen my spiritual practice whilst on workaway stays and travelling. I am always up for trying something new, and always work hard at it! What brings me happiness is good friends, laughter, music and nature.
Back home I have worked in the health service for a few years now, and am passionate about everyone having access to good health.
I am very easy-going, sociable and friendly. I love having long conversations and getting to know people really well. I keep an open mind and enjoy hearing about new perspectives and ways of living.Interests
