Description

I'm heading to travel in South America, starting in April, in Chile, I'm a beginner in Spanish and am really keen to learn:)
I have been travelling and working for 3 years now and I love to volunteer as much as possible. Since working for an independent environmental group in Melbourne, a new passion has flourished in me for the environment, nature and being a part of and cooperating with the community I am transiting through, being able to exchange skills, stories and this beautiful life with each other even if for a short time. I don’t have too much money with me on my travels and to be able to stop for free accomodation is ideal!
I've worked in hospitality for 8 years and have those tools in my belt, my last Workaway experience allowed me to experience and learn about gardening, house care, dog care and host care. My job as an environmental fundraiser have increased my skills in communication, resilience and knowledge of Australian environment and collective action overall; something I really enjoy talking about :) I'm a hard worker, creative, independent and unafraid to ask for help if I have exhausted my brain for options. I'm excited to learn new skills and am always open to new experiences

More details about my language interests
I'd love to learn Spanish. I picked up a little bit in Mexico and downloaded Duolingo afterwards. I am very much a beginner and am finding it quite difficult, I would love to learn with someone who has patience to help me! I am also so happy to teach English in exchange :)
