Description

Hello ! My name is Abbey and I am a South African civil engineering graduate currently living in Cape Town. I have a strong love for the outdoors, travel, and being exposed to new people, cultures, and experiences. I am especially passionate about conservation and sustainability, and I am eager to contribute to projects that align with these values. I hope to use Workaway as a platform to combine my skills and passions by assisting others, learning new skills, meeting inspiring people, and gaining meaningful life experiences along the way.
