Hi, I'm Ty from Sydney, Australia! I'm hoping to travel to Tanzania in June/July - if you are planning on going, hit me up!
My next destination:
Tanzania - from Jun 2025 until Jul 2025 View allDescription
Hi! My name is Ty and I'm 20 years old from Sydney, Australia. I'm currently studying a Bachelors of Psychology here in Sydney, but I love to travel and volunteer. In 2023, I took a gap year after high school and used workaway extensively whilst solo travelling. I've rejoined now because I'm hoping to do some volunteering during my mid-year university break!
To tell you a little bit about me, I am a very outgoing, social person who loves trying and doing new things. I love having unique experiences that I learn from, and I think this is best exemplified in some of my past volunteering trips, whether it be farming in the Japanese countryside, staying at an animal sanctuary in Hawaii, or teaching English in Morocco. I also really enjoy meeting and getting to know new people from different backgrounds. I believe there is so much to see and do, and meeting others from around the world feels like such an exciting way to do so.
In terms of hobbies, I quite enjoy being active. At home, I like to go swimming, running, climbing, surfing, hiking, to the gym or to Muay Thai. I also used to play a lot of indoor and beach volleyball during school, which I still really enjoy. I believe staying active and looking after your health is really important! In my slower moments, I like to read, journal or learn a language. I also like to draw, paint and play the piano but admittedly, I don't get much time to do that in a busy city like Sydney!
Thanks for taking the time to read my profile!
If you are a host reading this, I hope to be able to work with you and meaningfully contribute to your projects while gaining unique and insightful experiences!
If you are a fellow volunteer and my profile has piqued your interest, hit me up! I love making new friends!Interests

I love the idea of learning languages. I believe it allows you to connect with a completely new group of people on a new level of understanding. It opens up a lot of doors. I can speak English and Thai fluently, though I can only teach English because I never wrote or read Thai growing up. I've been learning French since high school, so this is my 4th/5th year of learning! I also studied Japanese last year, and am currently trying to start a language from scratch! I'm debating between Spanish and Swahili. The goal is that one day I can speak so many different languages and have many connections around the world from all the cool experiences and interactions that my language learning journey takes me!Skills and knowledge I'd like to share or learn

More details about your skills
At home, I work as a tutor and support worker. Support workers aid individuals with various disabilities; however, as a psychology student, I work more closely with individuals with mental health conditions such as schizophrenia. As a tutor, I have also developed a strong base in teaching a variety of subjects, such as Maths, English, French, Geography, and Science. These two roles have strengthened my interpersonal and communication skills, allowing me to be adaptable and work well with a variety of individuals.
Beyond these roles, I am enthusiastic and capable of handling various hands-on tasks, including cleaning and manual labor. Under guidance, I have worked with materials like cement and wood to construct structures such as stairs and fences.
Additionally, I have participated in multiple workaways, which have allowed me to gain experience in diverse fields, including childcare, farm work, and animal care. Through university, I have also developed skills in creating online content for social media.
I am an adaptable individual who thrives in different environments and is always eager to learn and contribute in meaningful ways.Age

You are humorous and funny. I found you to be sensitive and truly kind. To be honest, as a staff member, I often entrusted you with heavy work. But you never complained, rather you enjoyed your work. This attitude had a positive impact on the other workaways. I am sure that you spend your time outside of work hours… read more
