Description
Hey!
I'm Theresa and I'm a final year vet student studying in Dublin. I was born in India but relocated to Ireland with my family when I was 6 years old, and have been living here ever since.
I'm a really easy going person who becomes really chatty once I click with someone. I love meeting new people and getting to know their stories.
My hobbies are sea swims, running, hiking, cooking, painting, and trying new coffee shops. I'm really interested in picking up new hobbies too. This year I'm focusing on learning how to surf!
I've also loved learning language since I was a child. I'm fluent in English, Irish and Malayalam. At the moment, I'm interested in learning Spanish, Portuguese, French, and Italian, but open to learning so many others.
I'm interested in Workaways related to the environment, animals, art, cooking, agriculture, research, veterinary, and anything in between! I love learning about new cultures and new ways of life :)
