Description
Hi! I'm Devin, a 23-year-old traveler and designer from New York City.

After graduating with a BA in Design & Computer Science, I left my design job in Manhattan to travel Asia in October 2024. Over the past 20 months, I have had an amazing experience traveling, volunteering, and exploring.

My experience includes:

2026:
Tokyo, Japan - English Staff @ Mickey House Language Cafe
Houlong,Taiwan - English Instructor @ Carrie's English School

2025:
Ha Giang, Vietnam - Tour Staff @ Bong Hostel & Loop Tours
Kampot, Cambodia - Communications Designer @ AHHA Education (NGO)
Da Nang, Vietnam - World Scholar's Cup Instructor @ Meraki Education
Dhaka, Bangladesh - Graphic Designer @ Bangladesh International Tutorial
Pangandaran, Indonesia - Studio Assistant @ Edy Art Studio

2024:
Bangkok, Thailand - English Teacher @ Fun with English
Hoi An, Vietnam - Social Representative @ Bedstation & Harmony Hostels

I love having the opportunity to explore new places and connect with people from different cultures. I'm very social and always try new things, especially those that challenge me and push me out of my comfort zone. Some of my favorite activities include photography, drumming, and hiking.

I'm adventurous, outgoing, and love to take on new experiences and environments.
Please feel free to reach out, I'm always up for something new!

I am beyond grateful that I had the opportunity to live and teach in Houlong for five weeks.

Carrie is an incredibly kind, gentle, and thoughtful person, and also a true traveler at heart. We shared many meaningful conversations about our past travels, future dreams, and the cultural similarities and differences between Taiwan and the U.S.… read more

I stayed here for about month. The staff are so lovely and warm, and the atmosphere created really feels like a family and not work. My favorite parts were when we were all together, whether for our family meals by the river or our nights out for hotpot, happy water, and karaoke.

I’ve done several Workaways before, and I can honestly say this… read more

I spent a month volunteering here and it was a great experience.

I stayed at the school for the first week and then at the Kampot office, both of which were welcoming and lively,… read more

I had the pleasure of staying with Edy for three weeks and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Edy has an amazing group of people around him, including Juni and Jaka, who were a joy to be around—always kind, supportive, and great company.

Most days were spent working on creative projects using recycled and local materials, which Edy… read more
