Description
Hello all! My name is Kristina and I am excited to begin my journey with Workaway. I am originally from the Midwest but I long for adventure, new friendships, and to submerge myself in different cultures.

Some things about me: I have a background in environmental work and I am passionate about sustainability, climate change, and making a difference within a community. I love anything outdoors (hiking, biking, climbing, snowboarding), music, and some good coffee. But overall, I am a life-long learner. I am excited about listening and sharing stories and gaining useful skills with every unique experience.

More details about your skills
I graduated from University in 2021 and have a little over a year of experience working in the corporate world. I have developed strong communication skills, efficiency, organization, and time management skills. At my university, I worked at our campus garden and nature center. It was a hands-on role leading students and being a mentor for outdoor education. I have worked several years in the service industry where I was able to develop my interpersonal skills and general housekeeping knowledge.

Overall, I am a quick learner and get along well with pretty much anyone. I can pull my weight when it comes to heavy-lifting as I grew up with two brothers. I am tidy, responsible, and love to learn new things. If you are willing to teach, I am willing to learn!

I spent a month volunteering here and it was one of the best cultural exchanges I have had in Asia. The people of Sri Lanka are the most accommodating and friendly bunch. And the students are so excited to learn and talk with you! The Saturdays are long but they are worth it and the homeschooling is super fun and immersive. I recommend to anyone… read more

I have been traveling for several months and I can say this is one of my favorite experiences so far. I spent just under two weeks volunteering in Karangploso and its surrounding areas, helping teach English to kids of all ages. This was my first ever Workaway so I was a bit nervous from the start, but Ria and her family made me feel so welcome. I… read more
