    Activities i am interested in:

    2 months into my 6 months of travel in South America. Loving every moment and eager to learn Spanish quickly!

  • Description

    Having spent my early 20s working hard on my career, I am excited to now take a step back and explore other ways of living. My professional background in data management and accounting has equipped me with a strong work ethic, analytical skills, and attention to detail. However, this professional life has not fully satisfied me, so I have decided to broaden my horizons, get in touch with nature and explore other ways of living. (Yes the usual quarter life crisis!)

    I am a hard worker, adaptable, reliable, and always ready to lend a hand wherever needed. I consider myself chill and easy-going and will always strive to promote good vibes wherever I go.

    I did one Workaway in a bar in Palomino, however the host has had an account issue and can't provide feedback on the platform. I can provide the phone number if a reference is needed.

  • More details about your skills

    My professional background is Data Team Manager, having worked across several industries. I am a qualified accountant and I also have some experience in retail and beekeeping.

    I have a passion for travel and cultural exchange, having participated in a college exchange program in Singapore. During this time, I explored Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia, often exploring on scooter/motorbike.

    I later spent some time volunteering in India teaching English to children and math to women in slum areas, which was a very rewarding experience.

    Most recently I backpacked in Mexico, Costa Rica and Colombia. I really enjoyed this experience and hope to use Colombia as a launch pad for further volunteering/exploring across South America.

    With a broad skill set, practical experience, and a love for travel and cultural exchange, I am eager to contribute to and learn from the diverse environments of hostels and eco farms across the continent.
