    Painting murals & making art
    Music, creating community events
    Gardening, DIY projects, and learning new skills
    Natural building & sustainable living (we’re dreaming of building our own place one day soon)

    VIBES:

    Creative opportunities where we can share art with the world
    Learning new skills and sharing all of our skills to help out

  • More details about your skills

    I would like to learn things from my workaway host, but i also have a lot of skills to offer in return. I graduated with a bachelors degree in art education, and I have experience teaching art, creating and selling my own paintings and jewelery and mosaics, painting murals, and setting up gallery shows, as well as doing promotion. I can make promotional flyers for events and do basic editing. I am looking for a workaway situation where I can be creative and expand my portfolio of mural work while beautifying your space. I am interested in interior design and creation of intentional spaces. I want to connect with other creative people. I would like to also have time and space to work on my personal art.

    I also have hospitality skills, I am a very extroverted person who has experience as an airbnb host, bartender, party promotor, receptionist and waittress.


    My life dream is to start an arts organization that creates a space for artists where they can stay and create art, and that will beautify the community with street art and will connect locals with job opportunities and bring international art connections with small communities. I am looking to learn skills to make this dream a reality. hotel management, event planning, teaching art, mural painting, building, remodeling, sustainable and eco-building, massage therapy, practicing spanish, other art projects, these are the things I am most interested in learning and skill sharing.
