Travel information

I am currently

Description

Traveling is something I have always been drawn to- near or far. I am always grateful for opportunities to meet new people and have new experiences. I think opportunities like Workaway give us the opportunity to learn and grow as people.
I try to make the most of any situation and consider myself a hard worker who is always open to learning. I believe everyone has a story and it's from our shared experiences that we grow. I find contentment in plant-based foods, live music, and observation. I would say I have a contemplative nature and love deeply and gently. I find comfort in silence but also enjoy a really good conversation-laughter too.

My background includes growing up on a small farm in rural Kentucky. I was raised without central heat and air, learned organic farming practices, and gave love to all animals that came and went. I have always been a lover of learning and passionate about education-both within and outside of the classroom. I now have my Master’s degree and a background in social work and therapy, but I believe there is more to social work than a title and paper work- I think true social work can be done anywhere and take form in many ways.

For the most part, I feel like I’ve always been searching for something. I don’t have any expectations for what I will find, nor do I know what I’m looking for. But I’m okay with that. I’m looking forward to future opportunities and am grateful that I even have the fortune to be able to explore this path. Thank you for your time.
