Travelling
My next destination:
Hawaiian Islands, HI, United States - from Oct 2024 until May 2025 View allDescription
Embarking on a journey to explore the world ignites a profound sense of purpose within me. Every step I take, every culture I immerse myself in, and every connection I make enriches my understanding of humanity and broadens my perspective. Traveling is not merely about visiting new places; it's about delving into diverse experiences, embracing unfamiliar customs, and fostering genuine connections with people from all walks of life. It's a journey of self-discovery, where I find meaning in the moments of serendipity, the challenges overcome, and the personal growth that inevitably accompanies exploration. Through Workaway, I seek to continue this transformative journey, not only as a traveler but as a global citizen committed to fostering understanding, empathy, and positive change wherever my adventures take me. I love the outdoors, anything “history” and all live music!

More details about your skills
I recently graduated University of California, Santa Barbara with a double major: Philosophy and Religion . I then traveled to Prague to get my certificate to teach English in a foreign country. In that vein, I have volunteered in Ecuador and the United States teaching English to underprivileged children. I have also worked in three hostel settings, all in Europe. I have worked the front desk, customer service, cooking and cleaning, party planner and tour guide. My special skill is that I bring good vibes and grow with the flow but don’t mind working hard while meeting new people and experiencing new cultures!

What else ...
I love all board games, especially Monopoly. I like all card games especially poker. I love all music and music genres although I have yet to learn an instrument. I love to scuba dive, walk along the beach, hike or just about any outdoor activity. I also like to be social and lead group activities or just join in group activities. I have some bartending skills but would love to learn more. I also am relatively strong and not afraid of hard work (willing to learn how to build, farm, etc). I am a decent cook but would love to learn more. I am very patient and love all children and children seem to really like me as well.
