Description
Hi! My name is Avi and I would describe myself as very outgoing, open and creative person. I love trying new things and am always ready to give any job 100% effort. I love learning new things and keeping my mind and body active. I am recent graduate from the University of Oregon and I quit my work-from-home job that brings me no joy, in search of new experiences. Working from home has made me realize how much I miss working with my hands, and how motivating it is to work as a team! I would rather work hard and make little-to-no money than work 8 hours a day and take home a solid paycheck.
I have now been traveling for 3 months teaching English in Brasil and Ecuador and would love to continue teaching or learn new skills in other fields such as hostel and maintenance work.
I have been working odd jobs since I was 15 and I am not above any work. I have ample swimming and aquatic experience and I have over 5 years experience working with children. I love spending time with people and animals in the outdoors, and would love the opportunity to work with you!Interests

What else ...
In my free time, I love going on nature walks and spending time with my family. I enjoy drawing and playing board games (Catan!!) as well as going swimming, hiking, paddle boarding and other new and exciting outdoor activities I can find.

Avi was part of our family from the very first minute. The conversations with her were exciting, intelligent and took hours. She is very helpful and knows how to get involved everywhere!
You're always welcome here.
Enjoy traveling and discovering the world!
