Travel information

I am currently

Description

Hi! My name is Ava and I love to be outside. Whether that means working in the garden, or going on a backpacking trip, I think that time spent outdoors is time well spent.
I am also a very self motivated person, and when something needs to be done I am all on board until its completed. I am not afraid of hard work and oftentimes, I enjoy it! I am flexible and with some instruction, I can be very independent.
I want to Workaway to be able to fully immerse myself in another culture. I am so excited to be able to try the food, meet the people, and explore the scenery! And I would be honored to be able to share my experiences with the people I meet as well.

Volunteer Experience!
