Heya fellow travellers and workawayers :)
I'm Isa, 23 years old, an illustrator, animator and workaway enthusiast from Hamburg, Germany.
I got into volunteering when I was travelling through the UK, Portugal, Spain and France in my gap year in 2018/19 and I've grown very fond of the concept. Each of my workaway stays has been an enriching, thought-provoking and memorable experience.
When I'm not travelling, I study illustration and animation in Hamburg/Kingston upon Thames and enjoy all things visual, vegan cooking, yoga, photography, sustainable living, meditation, hula hooping and so much more.
