  • Description

    Hi!
    I'm Abby, I'm from the UK but I am living in Spain. I work in a school teaching English and arts and in my free time I'm working on my photography, finding ways to share it other than just as an empty soul on social media. Part of my travel experience is about taking and sharing a story through my photos.

    I've used workaway in the past and I am now back on it again, in search of a more meaningful way to travel instead of just travelling for the sake of it. I want to connect with the locals, immerse in the culture and give back to the community.

    I'm a hardworker and have versatile skills from taking on many opportunities that this life has thrown at me. I have also prove that I'm a quick learner.
