Travel information

I am currently

Description

I am a university graduate taking a Working Holiday gap year in New Zealand. What I love most about traveling is connecting with and learning about new people and culures, as well as nature and sense of adventure. What I am hoping to get out of Workaway is cultural exchange and contribution to local communities (especially creative or alternative spaces) and sustainable/permacultural projects.
Apart from travel, I enjoy reading, creative writing, hiking, and meditation. As an introvert, I prefer smaller and cozier social settings rather than large parties and high-energy environments. I also prefer to have some alone time to recover and enjoy time with myself, so I really appreciate when a bit of privacy is available. That being said, I am willing to go out of my comfort zone for the right opportunities because I think that that's the best way to experience and learn new things in life.

More details about your skills

I'm enthusiastic about creative work, especially if it involves writing or story-telling, though I'm definitely nobody's Shakespeare.
I have some gardening experience from family garden and previous volunteering (things like mulching, planting herbs and trees, weeding, pruning, wood-chopping, using basic garden tools, etc.). I have some basic experience with manual work like (Ikea) furniture assembly and painting walls, and construction of an earthen dam in a previous volunteering project. I am always keen to learn anything new. I don't have a problem with getting my hands dirty, working in poor weather, or sleeping outdoors in a tent.
