Description

Hi, I’m ShivaRanjani.

Currently located near Manali, Himachal Pradesh.

I’m originally from Chennai and have been travelling and living independently since 2021. Over the past few years, I’ve spent time in places like Goa, Coimbatore, Kerala and also did a couple of months of solo travel in Thailand. I enjoy slow travel and getting to know places through everyday life rather than just sightseeing.

Before this, I worked as a software engineer. I eventually chose to step away from that path to explore a lifestyle that’s more aligned with my interests in health, nature and simple living.

I’m someone who enjoys a calm, grounded routine. I don’t drink or smoke, and I naturally prefer a simple, low-consumption lifestyle. At the same time, I’m adaptable and respectful of different ways of living.

I’m interested in Workaway mainly to contribute, learn and experience different kinds of environments. I’m happy to be involved in day-to-day tasks and be a supportive extra pair of hands wherever needed.

Things I can help with:
• House sitting
• Gardening, basic farming and plant care
• Animal care / Pet sitting
• Household help and keeping spaces clean and organised
• Helping with guests or community activities
• Childcare (patient and attentive approach)
• Teaching (English or school subjects)
• Digital support (content, marketing, social media, tech help)

I’m also interested in eco-friendly and sustainable living practices, and I enjoy being part of spaces that value that.

In my personal time, I practice things like rewiring mind, journaling and meditation, and if it’s something people are interested in, I’m happy to share however I also completely respect personal space and boundaries.

More than anything, I value being reliable, easy to communicate with and respectful of the space I’m in.

I’m open to learning new skills and adapting to what’s needed.
