Description
Hi, my name is Cherine.
I'm an optometrist from London (: My passions are photography, travelling, giving back and working with animals with a strong interest in sustainable permaculture and deepening my spiritual journey.
I have been blessed to have been able to travel and volunteer in many different countries, and immerse myself in new cultures and environments. Some past volunteer/workaway experiences have included building houses in Guatemala, teaching English in Cambodia and Thailand, farming at a permaculture homestead in New Zealand, working with horses in England, volunteering with a vervet monkey sanctuary in South Africa and helping in an orphanage in Moldova.
I love hiking, spending time outdoors and connecting with mother nature. Connection is important to me and I very much enjoy meeting people from all walks of life and hearing their stories - coupled with learning new skills is the reason I find WorkAwaying such a fun and soul enriching experience! I'm easy going, friendly, efficient and self motivated - happy to try my hand at anything and look forward to getting stuck in to any project! :)Interests
