  • Description

    I am currently on a gap year before studying Psychology at university, so I thought this would be a great opportunity to do something productive, rewarding and fun; I found out about Workaway through a friend I met through previous travels and thought it would be a good way to gain some great life experiences, visit some great places, meet new people and gain some useful life skills.

    I am a very positive, adventurous and easygoing person, which I feel enables me to enjoy life in the best possible way. Being a very adaptable person, I am able to fit into a lot of different situations that are thrown at me.

    Last year I spent 4 months volunteering after Hurricane Maria, on a rainforest eco-lodge located on an island in the Caribbean, named Dominica. This was one of my greatest life experiences so far. I met so many great people, had so many unique experiences, as well as seeing some spectacular places. I got to view a completely different way of living, which greatly interested me.

    Things that I enjoy:

    -Seeing my friends and meeting new people.
    -Adventuring/ exploring.
    -Music.
    -Reading and researching topics.
    -Drawing.
    -Learning new skills.
    -Spiritual side of life (Crystals, mediating, various concepts etc).

    Thank you for reading, I look forward to hearing back from you! :)
