Hi there! I'm a 29-year-old female living in Palmetto, Florida (near St. Petersburg, Tampa, and Clearwater). I moved from Los Angeles and hosted several WorkAwayers there in the past. I'm originally from Toronto, Canada. I love meditation, yoga (though I'm a beginner), horseback riding, and, OF COURSE, traveling.
I work as a psychologist and volunteer with many organizations helping those living in poverty and the LGBTQ+ community.
I'm looking for a cultural exchange with some light cleaning and taking care of my chihuahua as well as company volunteering with low-income kids and families. Currently, I’m also looking for volunteers to help me with social media marketing and hosting events related to yoga, meditation, therapy, and holistic healing.

Palmetto, Florida is an awesome place with nearby beaches, wonderful restaurants, and a great community! It is close to Tampa and St. Petersburg, which are fun areas to hang out in. It's far enough to be in a quiet neighborhood and close enough that all the hustle and bustle is only 15-20 minutes away. Only 10 minutes from the beach!
I am also happy to show you around when I'm not busy at work.
I am looking for WorkAwayers for assistance with volunteering, hosting holistic healing events, and caring for my dog while I'm away.
I'm currently seeking someone to stay 2-4 weeks.
I would love for someone to accompany me to volunteer with at-risk youth who are living in poverty. For this, you must be open-minded and enthusiastic about working with children and teenagers! Many of the people we work with identify as LGBTQ+ so you must be accepting of this.
I also need help with more simple tasks, like taking care of my dog when I'm away (he's a small chihuahua - only 3 lbs and 16 years old), some light cleaning and tidying around the house, and if you speak Spanish, I would love to do language practice.

This host offers a language exchange

You can contact them directly for more information.
You will share an apartment with me. There is a pool, lounge area, and shopping areas nearby. The beach is about 10 minutes away. It's also a short 10-minute walk to a beautiful pier overlooking the water. You are welcome to eat any of the snacks in the house and cook your own food. During the week I'm usually out from 8 AM - 6 PM so I can only guarantee that I can provide 1 meal (usually dinner). I will also give you some money to go to the grocery store to buy other foods you like for breakfast and lunch.
Close to the beach, shopping, nightlife, etc.!
