Description
Hello Workaway hosts!
My name is Amber, I'm an Aussie and 22 years old. I'm on a quest exploring the world and exploring my place within it. Living and growing outside the confinement of societies normal 9-5.
I am enthusiastic to learn from different people, in different places about different things and in turn, learn different things about myself :-)
I love to meet new people and share stories and laughter.
I hope that you feel a connection to me through my profile, and that we can learn from each other if you choose to host me 🌝🌱
Here's my life journey in a nutshell 🥜...
At 19 I was living off the grid on an organic blueberry farm picking fruit.
I then moved to K'gari (Fraser Island) to live and work for 6 months and had the most epic time 4wd around the worlds biggest sand Island and creating some of my closest friendships.
I then set off on a 2 year solo backpacking trip around Europe where I had such a wide range of experiences, hardships and magical moments and learnt so so much along the way.
I came home at the start of 2024 and after spending some time at home with family and saving some pennies, I'm strapping my Surfboard to the top of my car and taking off travelling north to explore my own country.
How I like to spend my time...
I'm starting my yoga teacher training course so would love to learn from you or perhaps even teach a lesson!
I love arts and crafts such as drawing, crochet, embroidery, pottery - anything!!
I'm slowing teaching myself the guitar.
I'm a bit of a Mermaid and swim daily if I can in the ocean, lake creek or waterfall.
Exploring everywhere- paeticualy nature but as well as new cities and towns.
My travel style...
Spontaneous, slow, lots of volunteering, hitchhiking, house sitting, collaborating with other travellers along the way 🌏🛵💨
Why I choose to volunteer...
Travelling to lots of new places is great, but no experience can compare to when you stay in one place for a bit longer, living and interacting with local people and becoming familiar with the local environment. It allows you to learn more and create deeper connections to the people and place around you. The mutual bond between volunteers and hosts of sharing knowledge and experiences is very special within itself.
Heres a summery of some the volunteering experience I have (not all organised through workaway)...
Permaculture/eco farms in Croatia, Slovenia, Turkey and Portugal.
Hostels in Portugal and Turkey.
