Description
Im Tanya from Canada/India/USA! I'm really social, outgoing, and always willing to learn! I have a passion for travel and language (I love to talk!), religion/spiritualiy, philosophy, nature, yoga, and kids! Travel to me isn't a simple vacation to momentarily escape my reality; it's a learning experience. It's like work and school combined in a way, and there isn't any other way I'd rather it be! I want to challenge myself to pack light, overcome any and all challenges, push myself to do new things, and live as minimalist as possible, all while helping, learning from, or teaching something to everyone I meet.

I love cooking, cleaning, general housework. I’ve done Workaways related to farm work too which have been great but I tend to gravitate towards living with families and helping with kids or around the house. I find that it’s the best way to truly get a feel of what daily life in a new country is like.

Healthy, vegan food is really my biggest interest and passion! I loooove good food. I’m a lot more flexible in how I eat now after years of travel but I will always prefer to cook/eat with as little animal products as possible.

I'm really interested in working outdoors as well, but I don't have too much experience with it so I'm definitely going to need proper instruction for that kind of work.

I love workaway because it's a combination of my favorite things: travel and helping people!

Our time with Tanya was great. She is a very bubbly, very open and communicative person. Talking to her is a pleasure and so far, she was the only person that stayed with us that actually, independently, made friends of her own in the village, which in it self is sooo impressive.

Our favorite thing about having a workawayer with us, are the… read more

Tanya was a very friendly, intelligent (switched-on), positive, interesting, fun and enthusiastic young woman.
We were greatly pleased to show her some of the sights around here and it was so refreshing to have someone who really appreciated the beauty of this area and the Spanish culture. We did a bit of sightseeing in Picos de Europa National… read more

Awhh what a great 6 weeks this was. I really loved my little Spanish family! They were honestly so sweet and so helpful and my only "job" (if you can even it call it that) was to speak English! This experience was such a crucial part of my overall Spanish experience. They really taught me what a typical Spanish family is like. I even got to meet… read more
