Hello,
Thanks for viewing my profile (updated July 2023)
About me:
My name is Krisha, I am 35 years old and work in London, England as a doctor.
I am a friendly and polite person and am keen to experience different cultures and explore a new way of life.
My Workaway and volunteering experience:
I first joined this site in 2017 and did 2 Workaways both in Turkey, one was helping out in a hostel and the other was teaching English to a young child. I really loved it and always knew I wanted to do something like that again. Last year I volunteered in a refugee community centre in Athens and just last month I volunteered with the Special Olympics in Berlin. I have come to learn that spending some time getting to know a place by mixing travel and volunteering is much better than just flying to places for a short amount of time. Slow travel is better than fast travel.
This year I really want to travel more sustainably and learn about eco projects/off grid lifestyle. I am ideally looking for some projects in the UK as I would like to reduce my individual climate footprint. However, I do love travel and exploring new places, so I am also interested in teaching English and other community projects abroad.

I spent 3 lovely weeks with Senem/Kerem and 6 year old Asya (now 7 I think, happy belated birthday wishes) in Istanbul.
Firstly about the location for anyone interested in this workaway, the house is on the Asian side very close to the Uskudar (15 minute walk to this area) and from there you can get to most places. Therefore… read more
The work was light, mainly consisted of keeping areas clean/tidy, some painting for a new shop that was being built and helping with cooking.
There were 2 other guests from Norway and Switzerland and… read more
