Description
Hello, my name is Alaya and I am a 22 year old woman currently living in South Africa. I am a fun-loving, adventurous and diligent person who has a passion for travelling, meeting new people, and learning about different cultures. I studied psychology and philosophy at university and have an Honours degree in psychology. I am the happiest when in nature, I love the beach, hiking, camping under the open sky, swimming in rivers, wandering through meadows, and feeling the breeze on a mountaintop. I also am a big animal-lover, so would love any work that involves animals. I am looking to travel around Europe in 2025 - specifically Croatia, Greece, Italy - I have always wanted to swim in the crystal clear, warm, blue waters around these parts. I feel strongly about environmentalism and trying to make the world a better place by being eco-conscious and kind to others. My goals for my travels are to make new friends, contribute to any worth-while causes, help others and have fun.
