Description
Hi guys!
We're Jess and Oisín. We met in our second year at Queen's University Belfast in the North of Ireland and have been together ever since. We're mesmerised by how beautiful everyone’s homes, lives and businesses are so spirited on this site! We have always toyed with the idea of reaching out to adventurous people for guidance and friendship but have often never been in a position to do so.
Our goal with Workaway is to meet interesting people who can teach us new things and hopefully make some lifelong friends! Not only do we both enjoy getting our hands dirty and getting stuck in with different projects, but we also find it easy to connect with people of all ages. We're both particularly interested in spirituality, art, and environmental/social issues. We are also eager to find more inclusive spaces🌈
A little about us:
I’m Jess, I’m a filmmaker and English Teacher, currently living in Melilla. After graduating in Ireland, I moved to London for work and to be closer to family, however, I found myself itching to get back into nature and travelling. I make pottery, decorate things I find on my walks, and I love to forage. I do yoga, go to independent cinemas very often, and write every day. I don’t go clubbing/drink often but I love a festival.
Looking forward to travelling :)
I'm Oisín a young physicist from the North of Ireland! I'm interested in loads of things, like science, spirituality, woodwork, animals, and music to name a few. I'm excited to spend some time working in smaller, local businesses across the world and to learn more about the communities and cultures surrounding them. I can't wait to meet you all!!!!!! :)
