Travel information

I am currently

Activities i am interested in:

I’ll be driving my own car and I’d like to split the cost of petrol, as well as having someone to talk to on the journey

Description

I’m fascinated by nature, especially water. When I dive into the sea, a river or a waterfall, I usually feel a sense of euphoria and connection: I love it!

Helping out in any way I can makes me feel fulfilled; it gives me a real sense of purpose. That’s why I devote myself, amongst other things, to training (Photoshop, WordPress, AutoCAD, office software, etc.)

I’ve spent several years working on humanitarian projects (NGOs), creating e-learning and multimedia content.

I devote a large part of my time to helping Palestinian refugees and raising awareness of the plight of the Palestinian people, as well as organising events, talks and interviews.

I have two daughters whom I love dearly.

I enjoy reading, particularly books on self-discovery and science fiction.

I’m a great conversationalist: I’m a good listener and I find sharing life experiences very enriching.

My expectations for Workaway are to improve my fluency in English, learn about other cultures and environments, and share my knowledge with others as much as possible.
