Description
Hey there,

I´m Miska. I´m friendly, open-minded, easy-going and hard-working and I love travelling, learning new things and seeing alternative (and more sustainable) ways of life. I am a vegan food enthusiast, started exploring yoga a few months back and love experimenting with DIY cosmetics and such. I love English (and teaching it), nature and animals. I would love to learn more about sustainable gardening as well. In my free time, I like to hike, do yoga and read.

See you soon,
Your new workaway buddy Miska

I have experience teaching English at a language school (groups, conversations, individual lessons), I have volunteered teaching English in Vietnam, Thailand and I have a TEFL certificate.

Miska is an amazing human being, always smiling and bringing sunshine everywhere she appears. She has a huge heart and is very down to earth, which makes her a great conversationalist. I remember spending the whole night talking to her on the very first day she came. The talk just went so easy we didn't realize the time at all and suddenly our… read more

(Help us on our farm and care ...)

I have spent a month at the place and it went by too quickly!

The farm is simply amazing. There are lots of hens, horses, cows, ponies, pigs, ducks, sheep, goats, donkeys, kitties and doggies who get to live their happy life in here thanks to Emanuel. It is not unusual to open your door and see Ferdinand the pig taking a nap in the puddle snoring… read more

I had such an amazing time in the beach hostel!

It was my first time in Asia, and Dinesh and Rodney (manager) made me feel at home straight away. I helped around the hostel when and where needed, sometimes with breakfast, sometimes at the reception, most of the time socialising with guests helping them to plan their stay in Sri Lanka or helping… read more

We mostly helped in the garder preparing it for the winter, took Woofter for walks and helped around the house. Marco and Woofter, thank you so much for everything :)
