Beschreibung

Hi potential hosts! I am planning a year abroad in South America. I have had the travel bug for a while now but I have finally decided to listen to my gut and put this desire into action. I am extremely eager and excited to explore new places, learn new skills and immerse myself in different cultures. Being the age that I am (22), there is always that ever-apparent fear of what life will and should look like as one moves further into adulthood. I think travelling for me will be a great way to introduce insightful perspectives and unpredictable opportunities as I grow.

As travel was put off for a long while due to the pandemic, the time alone allowed me to do some introspection into what truly makes me feel excited and passionate. I embraced the creative side of myself and dabbled in some textile crafts including rug making, embroidery and crochet. I also explored a few DIY woodworking projects like refurbishing my grandma's old sewing desk, making some propagation planters and making my own bed frame. I didn't realize how much I liked working with my hands!

When thinking about travel, the first things that come to mind are always the landscapes and nature-based activities. This is because I am also a big lover of the outdoors! I love to swim, kayak, hike, boulder and bike, to name a few. I am a very beginner boulderer but I plan to bring my climbing shoes if anyone would be willing to let a novice tag along! I have only been once but I am also an aspiring surfer as well (a big bucket list item for this trip!!!).

I went to a performing arts school growing up so I have a huge soft spot for theatre and music too. I stage-managed a production in my last year of high school, acted in a few others and directed a student-led one-act play. I have been in choirs as long as I can remember and my friends can attest to the fact that I am always incessantly humming. Although I am a very nervous dancer I am hoping to take some Latin dance lessons if they are offered!

Although I plan to keep these passions in mind when deciding on certain things for this trip, a big goal of mine when exploring these new places is to introduce new ones too. I am very open-minded and open-hearted and as much as I love to plan, I would love to embrace a sense of spontaneity as I go.

I look forward to meeting you and sharing our time together!

Was noch ...

I come from a performing arts school where I partook in choirs, plays, and stage managed/teched for musicals. Fitness related activities are also things that I enjoy. This includes things such as team sports as I played on a volleyball team in high school (I'm not good but it was very fun). As of recently it includes volunteering and riding at my local spin studio. I am also starting to become a more frequent boulderer and am about to take my first surfing course soon. I love being outdoors in general and would love to explore the local swimming holes and hiking spots if my hosts are interested in that as well!
I have also recently been volunteering at the Pekiwewin solidarity relief and prayer camp in support of our local houseless community, anti-police violence and harm reduction. It has been a very cool experience for me and the appreciation I have for the organizers, coordinators, volunteers and the whole houseless community is immense.
