My next destination:
Oaxaca, Mexico - from May 2024 until May 2024 View allDescription
Hello! Such big questions, but here's a little about what motivates me:
I have a Masters in Philosophy (working on theories of labour and liberation), and have since worked in climate tech, education, and London's art world, where for the past two years I've been a curator and gallery manager. I love art but the industry was taking a toll, and I was craving exploration, new musical cultures, and nature!
I worked on a permaculture farm and eco-community in Sweden in August 2022 which I loved, and I knew I wanted to do more similar work across the world!
The stars aligned in Autumn 2023 - I left my job and flat in London and made my way to Brazil to begin my travels by studying bossa nova guitar in Rio for 6 weeks. My plan is to then make my way across South America, volunteering and spending time supporting permaculture / educational projects in beautiful landscapes whilst improving my language and musical understanding :)
I've travelled across China and South Korea in the past - in Korea, I lived for 3 months working as an English Language teacher (I have a CELTA qualification, and many years experience in private tuition). I'm very open and sociable, and love a good philosophical conversation with whoever is interested. If you there are any musical instruments available, I'm always up for jamming and playing around - I studied cello for 8 years, and have been learning guitar for 7 years, so very enthusiastic!Interests
