Description

Hola!

This is Anqi and Oisin. We are a couple previously living in the US. Anqi is originally from China and Oisin from Ireland, but we both haven't lived in our home countries for over ten years.

Anqi:
I just started taking a break from the corporate world and in a transition period. I care deeply about the earth, and am hoping to transition my career into the protection of our environment and/or mitigation of climate change.
I am a yoga lover - I have completed 200 hour yoga teacher training. I'm also trying to grow spiritually and practice regular meditations.
I also love food, music & dance - I am always interested in learning about new cultures and people.

Oisin is a neuroscientist post doc at MIT but will be also taking a career break to travel around South America. Oisin has volunteered at various NGOs around the globe, including The Umbrella Foundation in Nepal, Rural Health Care Foundation in Kolkata, India, A Drop in the Ocean - Skaramangas Refugee Camp in Greece.

He is inspired by biodiversity protection, rewilding, permaculture, and syntropic agroforestry, and he would love to learn from some of the Workaway programs.
