Travel information

I am currently

Activities i am interested in:

I enjoy anything nature related and love music and dancing. I'm also very interested in teaching English and learning other languages. I work professionally as a teacher so love kids too!

Description

For about ten years I lived as a nomadic outdoor/environmental educator and often spent my breaks in between seasons volunteering and travelling abroad. Workaway has connected me to some wonderful people and places. It's the only way I travel now! I recently earned my Masters in Education degree and am an elementary school teacher. I have also worked professionally as an English teacher (as a foreign language) and a therapist for autistic kids and teens. Plus, I've got my Permaculture Design Certification and have volunteered on sustainable farms all around the world.

More details about your skills

Teaching, youth development, experience with permaculture, professional background in teaching English as a second language, basic trail maintenance, basic computer skills. I got my PDC in December of 2015 in Thailand and am primarily looking to build upon these skills. I am also excited about a language exchange. I have also taken part in an earthbag building workshop as part of a rebuilding project in Nepal. My profession is in outdoor education, so I have lots to give in terms of teaching, working with kids and outdoor recreation type skills.

What else ...

I like playing old fashion card games and board games. I also read Tarot. I love listening to and dancing to different kinds of music, but don't play an instrument myself. I'm always up for excursions and explorations. When I work, I word hard!
