Description

Hi there,

I'm Debbie, a 33 year old Scottish girl who loves to explore other cultures, share memories with new friends and live with some adventure. I love to travel to connect with others, to really understand other cultures and learn from the different ways people live their lives - it truly fascinates me.

I have some volunteer experience and loved every second. I have lived for nearly 5 months in Argentina at 2 places. Tasks involved caring for 6 dogs, collecting and chopping fire wood, painting & decorating 4 log cabins, groundwork, light gardening, cooking with fire, housekeeping and assisting with reroofing a cabin. I have also painted a mural in a hostel in Bolivia.

I am really hard working, I like to learn new skills and to work on my own or as part of a team. I love appreciating the beauty of nature around me, being creative & also practical.

English is my first language and I speak basic Spanish. I am continuing to study this, so any language exchanges are also welcome. I am studying to teach English, so I would be interested in any opportunities involving this.

I got my Yoga Teacher Training certificate in the Peruvian Amazon jungle in October 2025 and I would LOVE any opportunity to teach this.

I'm pretty relaxed, I respect spaces and property, I love animals and I like to have a laugh. I'm decent at cooking and I bake a good carrot cake.

Thanks,
Debbie
