Description
Currently solo travelling in Latin America after living and working in Colombia for 9 months.

I've travelled around Asia visiting places such as Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Bali and Vietnam. I spent a month exploring India and went scuba diving in the Andaman Islands!

I have a passion for experiencing new cultures and cuisines, and often seek out homestays instead of hotels for a more authentic and immersive experience of a place! I also enjoy solo travelling and meeting new people along the way!

I love visiting art galleries!

Best place to volunteer in Antigua! Felt so at home and welcome here. Spent a month volunteering at the hostel and wish I could have stayed longer. The owners Kayla and Alex have worked hard to make this place so special and I love the concept of the family dinner. I was trained by the manager Dylan and he's a great manager and super friendly and… read more

Felt so welcome in this beautiful place! Chino and his team were great and it was a perfect opportunity for me to practice my Spanish. I even was able to go snorkelling with the chef and really got to enjoy the sea and the beach. The house has lots to offer and places to rest and read outside of helping hours.

So happy we found this place! Catalino and his family were so welcoming and included us in their family events. The food made by the family every day is awesome and so lovely to be able to share time with the family and enjoy traditional meals. We helped out with guests at breakfast each day and helped on the company website and a promotional pdf… read more

I loved this place and miss it so much! I spent a whole month here and it was so sad to leave. Beautiful place and the best people! I don't like to use the word "family" for a workplace, but the feel of the family is real, with Arturo's (the owner) actual family at the heart of that. Most of the staff there have been there for many years, and you… read more

I had the most amazing time with this lovely family! I was meant to stay with them for 2 months but ended up staying for 4!! I was able to have a great cultural exchange with this family, trying local cuisine, visiting museums and trips to other places in Spain.

They welcomed me into their family and I really felt at home there. Montse and José… read more

I stayed with David and Lourdes' family for January and February 2020.

David and Lourdes welcomed me into their family from the very start and all evening meals are shared together and Lourdes is a great cook! I also had the opportunity to go on trips with them to Les Angles in France to ski and La Fatarella, Tarragona, the hometown of Lourdes.… read more
