  • Description

    I have a love for travelling and learning new things, and currently looking for meaningful travel experiences. I enjoy meeting new people, learning about and experiencing all that a culture has to offer, and live like the locals live! This includes trying different foods, learning traditional dances (I love to dance), learning a new language, and helping the community and people where needed. I'm not the best cook, so welcome learning how to cook meals from any culture!
    I'm wanting to work on my fluency in French and also interested in learning Spanish. Anywhere I travel, I try to learn as much of a language that I can amd I'm always interested in learning new skills.
    My skills and education include basketball, health and fitness, as I completed Kinesiology in university. I also have the TESL certificate from university, and would love to gain experience in helping teach english as a second language. I have worked with people of all ages with developmental disabilities, but most of my work experience is with youth (specifically high risk youth). I am an animal lover and find peace being near the ocean! I'm respectful, considerate, easy going, open-minded and love to laugh! I'm looking forward to my experiences with workaway and meeting you!

    I am an active person and enjoy the ocean and being outdoors. I like to think I'm adventurous and like to try knew things and challenge myself. In addition to basketball, I can play volleyball (I'd say it's one of my favorite sports). I enjoy learning about people and meaningful conversation as well. I'm always interested in taking different types of dance classes, playing cards, doing puzzles and games like chess (although I'm still learning) and Scrabble/Bananagrams. I like helping people and getting involved with the community.
