Description

Hey!! My name's Ava. I am 19 years old, taking a gap year to learn from the world before I start my studies. I grew up travelling to many different countries with my family. This gave me that spark to explore more and learn about other cultures and languages as there is always more to experience! I've been traveling on my own through workaway since September 2024 and feel I will never get enough of this lifestyle. I seek new experiences and love to learn from new people and environments.

I am a very spontaneous and adventurous person who is always up for some action and new things. I love fitness and getting active, especially outdoors. Nature brings me so much joy, whether it's going for a run, hike, a swim, watching the sunset/sunrise, workouts in the sun, etc. I love trying new things and learning new skills. I am happy to share my talents and learn from others in as many ways as possible!! Getting to know people with lots of wisdom motivates me to learn and better myself.

I really love children as well! I have quite a bit of babysitting experience and hanging out with my little cousins. I am always open to helping out with children. They bring me so much joy and keep me feeling young.

I am a hard worker when a task is put in front of me and I enjoy making other people's lives easier by lending a hand. I enjoy cleaning/tidying areas.

I come from a family with lots of values where we prioritize family time, good food, going out into nature, traveling, music, exercise, and more. Growing up, we had four exchange students with many different culture backgrounds. This gave me a interest in other cultures and what kinds of interesting people are out there.

After my gap year, I would like to study Holistic Healing/Nutrition and keep traveling in the future!

I may seem shy at first, but once I feel comfortable around you, my shell breaks and I love to make meaningful relationships, have deep conversations, and just have a fun time. I can also be really goofy :)

Lately, I have really been enjoying to cook and experience with healthy foods as I prioritize my health by being mindful of what I consume. I have improved my skills over time and love to surprise myself and others with mytasty creations. So, if you love food too and are experienced in that way, i would love to better my skills from you :)

I have a great passion for life, both the exciting parts and times for some peace and relaxation. Whether it is a strenuous hike with a beautiful view to look forward to at the end, a night swim with good people, a climb and cliff jump, or just sitting in the grass, being present and soaking up sun and fresh air, I will be ready to live. I am a positive person with a love for this world. It fascinates me by all the ways it surprises me from the people I meet, the ways different things work, the various ways in which people live their life, and so so much more. I beleive there is always something new we can learn from eachother and expand our minds and individual potentials with. I love the sun and nature in general. I prefer being in the calmness and natural beauty that this world has to offer. Escaping from the hustle and bustle and really finding happiness with good people, beauty, and just life is also what I love. I love to embrace authenticity and uniqueness because we all have it. I have been really enjoying books, especially self improvement related. Having a good outlook on life, even learning from mistakes and challenges is something I see value in. So, i both love and will find joy in the crazy times and zen that this world gives us.

More details about my language interests
I am happy to help teach English. I would love to improve my Spanish whether it is staying in a Spanish speaking country or with people who speak/learning Spanish. I would love to get more practice in my German because I am not perfect, but I am also able to help teach it to those wanting to learn. I just love learning languages in general, so if you have a language to share, I would love that.
