Description
Hi! I am an outdoor, adventure & travel lover with a passion for yoga, veganism, hiking and biking! I am a scientist and am graduating with a master's in chemistry and love to meet new people :)
My love for travelling has been growing since travelling Europe and the Balkans and hiking Portugal's fisherman's trail, Qazbegi in Georgia and the mountains of Montenegro. Doing it solo has brought me a HUGE sense of accomplishment and i've seen how much it's helped my confidence and people skills grow. In between my studies, I've gone out on trips and always leave wanting more.
With graduation approaching comes my next adventure and I feel a workaway is the perfect opportunity for me. I am keen to settle and explore a new area for a longer period of time to help build connections within a community. I am looking for gorgeous natural scenery, somewhere I can enjoy the outdoors- learning to surf would be a big plus and I'd love a welcoming environment to make new friends.Interests
