My next destination:
Dublin, Ireland - from Apr 2024 until May 2024 View allDescription
Hi everyone! My name is Irenne Esther, but I prefer to go by Aura. I’m from New York, although I hold Irish citizenship too, and am excited to be on my first big travel adventure abroad. When I travel, I love to experience the culture of the local people and to explore and hike the unique environments of each region. I prefer simple, close to the land living and working with my hands, being outside and in nature as much as possible.
Just to give a little timeline of what I’ve been up to - after spending some time at community college, I decided to volunteer at a kibbutz dairy farm and then a little while later I moved to Colorado, living off grid in a trailer so I could work on an organic vegetable farm. My next big foray was to hike the Appalachian Trail, which took me 5 months. After that, I went up to Maine and lived in a little cabin working at another organic vegetable farm for the season.
Right now I have started my travels in Portugal and hope to make my way through as many countries in Europe as I can, with a specific interest in seeing and hiking the Alps.
In my free time, I am an avid reader of all types of books, especially ones regarding science, history and philosophy. I also love to cook, and am well versed in all types of vegetarian dishes. Additionally, music is a strong passion of mine and I play the piano, specifically classical and the blues.Interests

I have a bit of a background in dairy farming and quite a bit of experience with organic vegetable farming. I do best with hands-on outdoor farm work although I would be interested in learning some general construction skills.
