Description

Hi there. My name is Geetika! I love experiencing different cultures and really want to start doing it living with the locals and giving back to society.

I'm born and raised in Delhi, India and worked in New York City for 10 years. I have 11 years of experience in Business Consulting and Data Analytics - I wanted to step away from corporate world and use my skills in places that would bring much more value to others and to me. I volunteered for almost 2 years starting April 2022.

-- Colombia for 2 months and taught english to kids and adults and in exchange learnt spanish. I also helped the school with revenue growth strategy. It was in New Western School, Acacias.
-- Lived in an off-grid community in Portugal (near Castello Branco) for 2 weeks and helped set up water connection
-- Helped in organic and regenerative farming for a month in Spain (near Granada) using Comfrey tea and organic fertilizers.
-- Taught english for 3 weeks in Morocco in British English Academy
-- Helped with farming, and operations in Sristi, Pondicherry - a community for intellectually disabled - for a month
-- Taught english and arts to intellectually disabled kids in Hanoi, Vietnam for a month
-- Volunteered in Krishnamurti foundation in UK (Brockwood school)

I would love to teach kids, help with sustainable farming, and building growth strategies for the wonderful small initiatives that need more visibility and immerse myself in the nature and culture across this beautiful land.

There is a lot of unfair divide on this land and if we all come together and help each other then we can do wonders. I want to start it right away and from what I have heard this platform really does a good job in connecting people - hosts and volunteers.

I'm a people's person and love learning new things and sharing knowledge through interesting ways. If you would ask my family and friends about me, I trust they say Geetika is a positive, cheerful and empathetic person who puts her soul in whatever she does.

Based on my personal interests and professional areas of expertise, here are the areas where I can help my future hosts :
-- Teaching English, Math, Computers (upto high school level)
-- Business Growth Strategy
-- Organic and Regenerative Farming
-- Teach Bollywood dancing
-- Have endless meaningful conversations about positivity, spirituality and life
-- Guest relations and community management
-- Taking care of dogs, cats & other domestic animals
-- Cooking

I'm here to provide whatever help and support and will learn if I'm new to it! Looking forward to your wonderful experience.
