Hi there, my name is Emily. I am originally from the U.S. but have been traveling/living abroad for over a year now. I currently reside in Arequipa, Peru, where I teach English. In February I will begin traveling again and am hoping to find a Workaway to spend a few weeks/months at. I have worked at a number of previous Workaways including an organic, self-sustainable farm in Spain, a small start-up farm in Morroco in which most of the work involved building a well and planting, a goat cheese farm in Andalucia, Spain, and two different eco-lodges with organic gardens/different sustainable projects in Colombia, and finally, at a hostel on the Caribbean coast of Colombia. All of these experiences have been extremely rich and different from each other but I have none the less gained a lot of knowledge and experience from each. I have also discovered a love for farming and being close to nature. I can speak Spanish but I'm not fluent and still make many mistakes in my speech. One of my goals is to stay at a Workaway in which Spanish is mainly spoken so that I can improve my Spanish skills.
Hola, mi llamo Emily! Soy de estado unidos pero he estado viajando por un año. En esta momento vivo en Arequipa. Peru. Soy maestra de ingles aca. Voy a viajar otra vez en febrero y espero que encuentre un buen workaway. Trabaje en una granja subsestinable en españa, una granja nueva en marruecos y construye un poza. Tambien, trabaje en un otra granja en españa con cabras, dos ecolodges en Colombia, y un hostal cerca el caribe en Colombia. Aprendí mucho de los experiencias y quiero seguir aprender sobre trabajar en una granja. Me encanta la vida en el campo y naturaleza. Hablo espanol pero quiero seguir aprender y practicar mi espanol. Finalmente, tengo 4 meses de experiencia ensenar ingles y tengo mi certificado de TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language).
