Description

Hi, my name is Candice. After working for the French Ministry of Education for more than 8 years, I felt deep inside that it was time for a new start! That is why I have decided to take a one-year sabbatical and go traveling to Central America and South East Asia, starting in April 2023.

I see this trip as an opportunity to learn about other cultures and to spend time with local people. I am willing to share their daily life and contribute to local projects or activities. That is why I registered on Workaway platform.

In June 2023 I volunteered for three weeks in Guatemala, with an association which supports indigenous women. I discovered a reality that you can't see if you travel as a tourist. It was a really enriching experience!

I am looking forward to living other volunteering experiences during my time in Central America :)
