Beschreibung

Hello :) I'm Abigail from Singapore, and I'm 31 years old. I worked in tech policy and environmental advocacy all through my twenties, but am now taking a break to prioritise new experiences and personal growth. For now, I just want to try living life a bit differently!

So far I've done some really fun and meaningful side quests on this break: teaching English, part-timing at a cafe and vintage store, volunteering at an eco-learning centre in a Thai nature reserve and a children's home in Nepal (DIY workaway experiences!), and running a summer school for/building community among adults in a similar season of exploration, experimentation and seeking.

I've also done some slow travel, staying and travelling with good friends and their animals in Thailand, India and the UK for a few months.

On Workaway, my goal is to learn about other cultures and ways of living, make meaningful connections, and push myself out of my comfort zone. I also want to pick up practical skills - e.g. home DIY, permaculture, growing and cooking food, working with animals, and living in harmony in nature. I'm a responsible and hard worker, and can learn and jump right into whatever you need help with!

I really love seeing the world -- soaking in a new and unfamiliar environment, travelling slow, being with and among locals, and learning about what makes different people and places tick.

If you're willing, I would also love to hear about what moves you: how you grew up, where you've been, what you fill your time with, and how you want to build your life. Look forward to meeting you :)

Was noch ...

I love spending time outdoors and walking in nature; history, museums, comedy, books/films/TV; tennis, ping pong and yoga; good food; community singing; and of course, travelling and learning about new places and people.

I'm passionate about politics, progressive causes, storytelling and fictional worlds. I've volunteered extensively with organisations concerned with social justice and democratic values, and love diving into stories, characters and alternate universes, from fantasy to sci-fi and historical fiction.

These days, I'm trying to pick up new sports (bouldering, pickleball), get back into making art, cook more, write, and make remote freelance work for me!
