Description
For 2025, I'm open to anywhere in or near the Balkans and SE Asia. 🌸

Hi, I'm Yolanda (Yole for short). Born in the Caribbean but grew up in the USA. I'm an *AMERICAN* citizen and single mom of one awesome worldschooled 10yr old. We are currently exploring the beauty of the Balkans, the culture, the languages and eager to find some great workaways along the way.

p.s. My child and I will share a room, so no need to worry about providing 2 rooms for us.😊

What else ...
Born in the Caribbean and grew up in the US from a young age. My last professional, state licensing in the US required me to pass an extensive background check, so rest assured! 🙂

I love traveling and learning about the history of various regions and immersing myself in other cultures. Also, I think growing and knowing where you food comes from is very important and underrated. I hope to gain knowledge about homesteading, animal care and more about self sufficiency, aquaponics etc
