Travel information

I am currently

Description

I have been based in Colombia since December 2025. Excited to connect with new people, immerse myself in new cultures and learn more about myself, others and the world around me.

I particularly want to spend my time on community based projects, NGOs, environmentally conscious or positive projects as well as those focused on creativity and culture. I really would like to volunteer, and travel in an ethical manner - respecting the land and local people while also learning from them.

Passionate to learn about history, culture and politics. I love music, art and dancing. While I really value my own time to develop and learn and when not working, I am completely a people's person and connecting and learning from others is very important to me.

I love working with children, and would enjoy this if it was a possibility at some stage during my travels. I love being outdoors, spending time active or relaxing in nature, and am extremely fond of all animals, big and small. I would hope to be outside a lot of the time, whether this is exploring by myself or with new friends, or getting my hands dirty on a project. I look forward to doing some hard work - I can't wait to meet you! :)

More details about your skills

In Ireland, I worked in a social enterprise with long-term unemployed folk, through a community employment scheme - supporting them through the scheme and hopefully onto more permanent work. Work with funders and government so has given me some experience in the admin side of non-profit organisations, as well as in the practical.

I have participated in the set up, take down and general running of music and cultural festivals across Ireland (...hoping to do international in the next year!)

I have worked hospitality for multiple years, waitressing and bartending - in Ireland, Germany and Portugal.

I have a First Class Honours Bachelors degree in Sociology and Business.

I have done a small bit of volunteering in the last year here in Dublin, canvassing for political elections, as well as supporting immigrants landed in Ireland trying to navigate the international protection process.

Worked for 5+ years paid and unpaid in my horseriding stables looking after and exercising the horses, general yard work and upkeep, and supporting young kids and folk with disabilities in lessons.

What else ...

I love music - playing guitar/singing or learning, and especially with others. I love our traditional Irish music and would love to play and share this abroad.

I want to travel and take the time to slow down and tap into my creativity - writing, painting, jewellery and clothes making are things I really enjoy.

I am passionate about Irish culture, and would be delighted to share any bits of our music, sport, language or history.

I am vegetarian - for environmental reasons. I try to create as little waste as possible and strive for a world where we work with the land not against it.
