  • Description

    Hi! I’m a 23-year-old graduate who will be solo travelling (as of Nov 28th) around Asia. I’m looking to do a mix of both travel and work, and I'm especially interested in continuing and deepening my exploration of Buddhism, which is really important to me - especially how it links with the modern view of mental health. I’d also like to take life a bit slower for a while - coming from a bartender job in London this trip will hopefully offer a much needed change of pace. I'm also a beginner drummer and would love to continue practicing on my travels!

    While I’m new to Workaway, I’m not new to living abroad, as I lived in China for 6 months a few years ago, which is where my lust for leaving the UK at any and every opportunity was born. I will be travelling for a 7-month period initially, and seeing what comes of it from there.
