Description

Hello, fellow travellers and hosts!

I'm Rachael, an adventurous and compassionate individual ready to embrace a nomadic lifestyle while working remotely. As a lover of travel and a seeker of cultural immersion, I've joined Workaway with the intention of exploring the world, acquiring new skills, and making meaningful connections along the way.

Having already traversed Europe, Africa, and Asia, I've been captivated by the richness and diversity of our planet. Now, I'm excited to deepen my experiences and dive into the true essence of nomadic living. Plus, I'm not always travelling alone—my wonderful Partner Jay, is joining me on some of our journeys.

Let me share more about our combined skills, experiences, and shared interests:

Rachael:
In terms of skills, my professional background includes administration, customer service, recruitment, marketing, teaching English as a foreign language, content creation, and social media management. I've also volunteered at Hostels around Europe, helping with check-ins and social events. Additionally, I am a remote worker and ready to immerse myself into the nomadic lifestyle. With the freedom to work from anywhere in the world, I've combined my passion for travel with my professional life, allowing me to create a harmonious balance between exploration and work. With utmost flexibility in my travel plans, I have no restrictions on where I can go or how long I can stay.

Beyond my professional skills, I have a genuine love for animals. I've had the pleasure of house and pet sitting, providing tender care while their owners were away. This experience has nurtured my understanding of responsible pet ownership. I embody traits such as creativity, ambition, friendliness, open-mindedness, and determination, which propel me forward in my pursuit of new horizons and personal development.

Jay:
