Description

Hi, my name is Natalie! I recently graduated with a Master's degree from a University in Glasgow, Scotland. I joined workaway to stay in the UK after finishing my dissertation to be able to go to my graduation ceremony 2 months later.

I had two great workaway experiences, and now that I'm back 'home' in Washington, I know I want to travel more before starting my career. I lived on a US Army base in South Korea when I was younger, and I've always wanted to go back.

I started studying 한국어 on my own, but not until after moving away from Korea, and I stopped studying while in Scotland - now I want to continue my Korean language learning.

I'm hoping this break from conventional school/work will provide me with meaningful new experiences and connections before embarking on a career path.

What else ...

I love running and helped coach my high school cross country team - I can teach others how to run correctly, and that running can be fun! :)
