Description

Hi there, I'm Katherine Smith! I'm an American girl who left her corporate job in May of 2023 to embark on a solo adventure to explore the world. I will be spending the next year traveling through South and Central America.

I am looking for volunteer opportunities as a way to learn new skills such as Spanish, farming, sailing, sustainability, and hostel management while also slowing down my travels around acquire meaningful relationships and community along the way.

I am adventurous, hardworking, and easy-going. I love to spend my free time hiking, camping, scuba diving, skiing, cooking, or practicing yoga. I'm a certified yoga teacher and dive master.

Prior to my travels, I worked in business operations for 6 years. I was responsible for reviewing company processes to identify improvement opportunities, recommend solutions to improve efficiency, and create process related documentation such as user guides, training materials, or written procedures. If your business has a need for any of these skills beyond typical volunteer work, I am happy to provide additional support as needed.
