Description

SANTIAGO, Chile - NOVEMBER 2026

Welcome,

I'm Alysia, daughter of a British mom and a Spanish dad but born and raised in Belgium. I left the country in 2012 and have been living and working in mostly English speaking countries.

My main passions are yoga and dance, being in nature and finding community in different pockets of the world.

My goal for this year is to become near fluent in Spanish and spend my free time hiking, crocheting, reading and drawing/tattooing. I'd like to live more intentionally and present.

I would love to pick up new skills along the way, especially surrounding permaculture.

My WorkAway preferences are hostels, permaculture farms, intentional communities or working with kids and women, NGO's, and at animal sanctuaries.

For a full list of skills I can offer, see the skills section but in short:
- Hospitality
- Photography/Social Media
- Yoga Teacher
- Grant Writer

Bienvenida,

Me llamo Alysia, soy hija de una madre británica y un padre español (nunca me enseñó español – ¡todavía lo estoy aprendiendo!), crecí en Bélgica. Me fui en 2012 para viajar y trabajar alrededor del mundo. He estado viviendo en Inglaterra durante casi 8 años.

Me encanta bailar, estar en la naturaleza y hablando con gente interesante.

Tengo muchos pasatiempos, pero me quiero enfocar en hacer yoga, dibujar, aprender espanol y explorar muchas culturas. Quiero viajar despacio y quedarme en cada lugar entre uno y tres meses.

Ahora mismo, estoy buscando lugares tranquilos en el campo donde pueda practicar español y relajarme en mi tiempo libre. Me interesa trabajar en las granjas de permacultura, comunidades intencionales, hostales, con ninos o mujeres, y santuarios de animales.

Pero estoy abierta a todo.

Gracias por su atención. ¡Nos vemos pronto!

What else ...

I love working with my hands in general. I did a pottery course last year and love creating useful, yet beautiful things.

I started a women's circle in 2024 to bring my community in the UK together and do things that didn't involve drinking or spending too much money.

I have half baked notions of buying some land in Spain one day to start an intentional community/permaculture hostel so I would love to stay in similar places to get a feel for the lifestyle.
