Profile information
Description
Hi friends! I'm Tammy :)
I'm a Thai Australian gal who is on a journey to learn more about herself and humanity. I was born in Thailand, raised in New Zealand and my home is in Brisbane, Australia.
I’m currently hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, a 2650 mile hike through the US from the border of Mexico to Canada. I have hiked over 2000 miles now from Campo CA to Cascade Locks OR, but now I would like to spend about two weeks in Portland resting and getting to know the area. I have done extended Workaways in the past, and I am looking for a Workaway position near Portland for the end of August/early September.
In terms of skills I can offer - I'm a RYT 200 yoga teacher and certified Thai Massage therapist. I studied a Bachelor of Behavioural Science and back home in Australia I am a therapist and social worker. I have experience doing Workaways at a farm, Airbnb, hostel, and wellness retreat.
I treasure genuine human connections and meeting people from all walks of life. I love sharing skills and knowledge and I aim to learn something new from everyone I meet. I'm not a party person and I try to live a conscious and healthy lifestyle; however, I don't shy away from new experiences and I'm very open minded. I love all things creative including cooking, sewing, music, painting, photography and basically anything that involves making or fixing things (you could say I'm handy). In a typical day at home, you can catch me meditating, playing with my cat, stretching, and laughing with my housemates.
My work/volunteer experiences abroad include:
- All-rounder assistant at a plant medicine retreat centre in Ecuador
- Resident yoga teacher at a mountain lodge in Ecuador
- Yoga teacher, massage therapist & private chef at a permaculture farm/wellness retreat in Hawaii
- English teacher at an adult learning centre in Thailand
