Description

Hi, I’m a solo traveller taking a career break and explore the world as I slowly relocate from the UK back home to NZ.

I’m looking for a Workaway from the middle of March to the middle of February 2026 somewhere in Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia etc.

I practice yoga & mediate regularly and hoping to get some teaching experience as have recently completed 550 Yoga Teacher Training (500 hours mixed Hatha & Ashtanga, 50 hours Yin, in Rishikish and Varkala India) .

I’m also very competent working in the Garden and with outdoor construction. Love making compost and clearing areas to create new gardens and spaces.

Have worked and volunteered in kitchens and am pretty happy to help out wherever needed.

Looking for connections & community and like being part of something that is adding value to world.
