  • Description

    I'm living abroad and seeking new experiences, supporting myself by teaching English online. I plan to continue exploring and take whatever opportunities the universe provides.

    I joined Workaway because I love learning and I know I'll learn a ton by volunteering. I'll learn about the cultures of the places I stay, new skills from the work I do, and different viewpoints from the conversations I have. I'm also seeking the feelings of satisfaction and fulfillment that come from being productive and helping others.

    I've been working since I was 14, and I know how to keep myself motivated. I’m also very flexible with the type of work I'm asked to do. Whether it be mowing lawns, changing bedsheets, teaching English, or cooking dinners, I’m happy to do it all and I welcome new challenges.
