Description

Hello Everyone,

I am happy and ready to be a part of the workaway community:)
My name is Leshawn and I am a 24 y/o happy Solo-Traveller. Through Workaway I had the chance to travel to Hawaii for a few months and it’s been one of the most beautiful experiences in my Life. Mahalo to all the good people out there that made this experience possible and a good memory!
I want to take this chance to get involved in and have an exchange with different Cultures, in order to learn new things, new skills and languages.

I finished my bachelor degree 2022 in Biological science in Germany. I have felt this drive exploring the World for some time and expanding my horizon.

What currently motivates me to do a workaway?
-> My personal interest in visiting countries outside of Europe.
-> I am also interested in learning more about other languages, but especially the japanese culture and language.
-> Personal Growth and learning more about myself
-> Being able to help others and having a positive social impact
-> live long learning
-> making Friends all over the world!
-> making priceless memories

I am an openminded and nature-loving person, that loves spending time outdoors as well as spectating and learning from mother nature. I also enjoy learning new things from people. I am curious about the relationships between people and nature from all over the world.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, I found joy in gardening and growing some food sustainably in my small garden/indoor.
In my freetime I am also a passionate fisherman, so spending time at the water brings me a lot of joy.

I think workaway can be a great and fair tool for hosts and travellers to help eachother out.
I am looking forward to more positive experiences, projects and meeting new people:)

With my energy and support I would like to help other projects, that are interesting to me, while at best leaving the place behind better than when I arrived.
