Description
I find happiness into connecting with people. Getting to know each individual's dreams, passions, culture, values and life experience is fascinating to me and help me to grow up so much! This is why I love traveling, and this is why I am on Workaway. When I visit a country I want to meet the locals and not only see the touristy spots!

More details about my language interests
I believe that when visiting a country, speaking the locals' language is a must! I love learning it (even though I'm a slow learner haha) and even more being able to communicate afterwards. Of course I am always happy to teach some french or english to whoever might be interested.

Chiara brought a lot of excitement and positivity from the moment she arrived. She easily made friends and ensured everyone felt relaxed and comfortable. She stayed with us for two weeks to assist in teaching English. Some of the most enjoyable moments we had with her were our late-night talks. She really loved exploring deep and interesting… read more

This Workaway is a unique chance to meet a lot of the locals and the hosts are absolutely lovely people. I went into many schools from elementary to university to speak English with the students, which were sometimes a bit shy but still eager to speak with me.
Riau is not a touristy area, but that's what makes the experience so unique and real.… read more

This is definitely the Workaway that had the biggest impact on me up to now. The people living and working in this community have such inspiring values! You will get to live in different treehouses (don't expect too much comfort) and I loved this experience. You'll see many monkeys (you better lock up your stuff!), insects, even snakes sometimes.… read more

The hostel is well situated and Melacca is such a nice city! You receive a planning with your shifts and the rest of the time you are free to explore.

Howard is a really nice… read more

I was there 2 months ago. The place is really remote and it's like a small paradise. You get the whole beach for yourself and can see dolphins, otters, giant lizards, monkeys, and so many beautiful butterflies! There was nearly no guests when I was there, so sometimes it can feel a bit lonely. One thing that's for sure is that you will eat well,… read more
