Hi! I'm a college student from the North Carolina, US. I am studying Math and Spanish, and am also an informal student of history and politics. I hope to gain from my travels valuable skills and experiences that just couldn't be had otherwise. I'm a native English speaker learning Spanish. I grew up on a farm, so I'm well acquainted with the tasks of gardening, handling animals, or hard work.
Hi! I'm Brandon's partner, Erin. Brandon and I are recent grads from North Carolina, United States, and we both love meeting new people, learning new things, traveling, and getting to know new places/communities. Brandon is an amazing cook, he loves board games, reading, hiking, juggling, music, and is learning how to play the mandolin. I love playing music (banjo, ukulele, and singing:)), making videos, reading, cooking, and hiking. I've had a good bit of experience with teaching in tutoring through volunteer work and my job (2018-2019) at the Raleigh Academy of Chinese Language teaching English SAT prep on Saturdays. In May of this year, I received my 200 hour yoga teacher training certification from Asheville Yoga Center, and for the rest of this summer Brandon and I are both currently working in and exploring Denver, hiking in the Rocky Mountains, learning how to work on bikes at a local community bike shop, and volunteering as cooks and servers with Food Not Bombs! Once my seasonal work finishes up here in Denver we are looking to workaway somewhere in the fall - we can't wait to meet you! :)
