Description
Hello :) I'm Kina, 32yo, currently on the Isle of Skye, Scotland and looking for my next workaway in Italy starting in october.
I started workaway in 2022 and had such good experiences that I decided to make it my main way of travelling.
Travelling has been a big part of my life since when I was 19 and moved to England for a year. After that I realized I didn't want to stay in my home country doing what everyone else my age was doing so, since then, I’m always planning my next experience abroad - I also worked on a cruiseship between Alaska and Canada, and was an aupair in the US for 2.5 years. I have a degree in linguistics and a TEFL certification.
I believe myself to be pretty self sufficient, reliable and proactive. I'm outgoing and social but I also like some private space and alone time. Going on hikes, exploring villages, cities and historical places, cooking/eating, and chillin with a book or movie are things I love doing. I'm very open minded and curious and respect all peoples and cultures the same way I like to be respected :)

More details about your skills
I grew up in a smallholding in the hills and always helped take care of our veggie patches, garden, and picking/processing fruits from the orchard. I would also often ride horses while growing up.
I've acquired quite a lot of experience in hospitality since I became a workawayer.
I have years of experience in teaching and childcare as well.
And I love cooking and baking - specially vegetarian dishes and with sourdough.

My pups took to her instantly. We only had one day together before I departed for my holiday.
When I came back my pups were in love with her and my house was spotless :)
What more could I ask for! Happy travels Kina

It was a short time to learn the job role and all the various jobs involved and Quinay managed to do all of this exceptionally well.
She really was a valuable team member and more often than not a team leader.
In addition to this Quinay is a great person to work and live alongside.
