My next destination:
India - from Nov 2023 until Apr 2024 View allDescription
I am currently travelling around india for 6 months and am looking to find a nice workaway that will help me learn about the local culture and hopefully offer my skills in some way.
On my last trip in Mexico I volunteered on a ranch for 2 months. No electricity or gas. Living in real nature 😍. I found absolute paradise and I'll miss it forever 🥲.
I also painted some murals in a workaway in Puerto Escondido for 2 months ☺️. Brandon allowed me to run free on his walls and I enjoyed it so much.
I volunteered in Guatemala for 1 month next to lake atitlan where I painted the front gate of a guesthouse. I met some great people and also Qatziq the dog who I will miss forever.
In June 22 I returned from travelling
Scotland, Spain, Tunisia and Morocco for almost one year. I did mainly maintenance jobs and some customers service roles, an animal sanctuary and of course I left some artwork in Morocco and Spain 😄
I spent almost 2 years travelling around part of SE Asia 2018 to 2020. My journey was cut short due to the pandemic.
I am a support worker supporting 16-18 year olds in their journey to becoming fully independent after experiencing being looked after by the local authority. I find my work very rewarding. Its great to see the young people developing skills that will set them up for life.
I love to paint and in my spare time i volunteer painting murals.
I play a little guitar. I love to hike in the wilderness and love to be outdoors.
I have a degree in Applied psychology that i did in my 20s. I loved every minute of it.
I am very handy around the house, general maintenance, gardening, domestic duties, i love animals and would love to offer my skills as a mural painter. I have quite good computer skills. I am hard working and put 100 per cent into everything I do.
I have volunteered in hostels and guest houses dealing with check ins/outs. Provided a high level of customer service. Cleaning.
I have 1 year experience managing a hostel. Everthing from general running of the hostel, small maintenance jobs, volunteers, their rotas etc.
The hostel was an all female travellers hostel in Malaysia. I ended up staying a year and provided guest and new volunteers information on all of the best places to visit during their stay.
I volunteered on reception in an amazing place called Tonsai Beach bar and bungalow in 2019 over Thailand's peak Christmas and New year period. We had electricity for only part of the day and the biggest mosquitoes I've ever seen. But I loved every minute of it and the guys there fed me the best traditional Thai food ever.
I volunteered in a school in Cambodia, teaching 3 classes a day as well as painting murals during term breaks. The kids in Cambodia are such hard little workers. They went to mainstream school in the morning and then came to us in the afternoon for English lessons.
I volunteered on a farm in Thailand. I learned a lot about banana trees and papaya. We grew pumpkin and chilli. We did a lot of building in and around the volunteer accommodation. Re built the bathroom, painted the walls etc. We looked after the 2 cats, Mama and Pallina. I still miss them 😪.
I am not scared of hard work and minimal living conditions are fine.

I was given clear instructions on what was expected of me and Sara was there if I needed anything.
The tasks were easy and enjoyable and I had lots of free time to explore or just relax.
Thank you for having me Sara and big wave to Mohammed too 👋
I feel lucky to have met her even if only for 2 weeks and I recommend her to all hosts!
Very frustrating. So I will keep it short and simple in case it fails yet again,

From the moment she arrived, her energy and enthusiasm for travel and meeting people really shone through.
She got stuck in to any tasks she was given, and did not need any prompts to get going. She's really hard-working, proactive, and a real laugh too! Great at cleaning, and also turns out she… read more
