Hello, friends!

I'm travelling in Peru until at least mid-August. I'll
be in Huaraz, Paracas, Arequipa, Puno, and Cusco and Sacred Valley. I'll spend at least a month around Cusco from July on.

Description

Hi, friends. You can call me Ish.

I was born in a small country next to India named Bangladesh. I moved to the US when I was 12, and grew up there for most of my life. I then moved to Canada in 2019, around when I was 30. I hadn’t left North America in 20 years, until I visited Peru in early 2022. Even before my trip there, I had been fascinated by the world that we live in. There is so much diversity here, and it’s a privilege to be able to experience at least some of it.

Which is what brings me to Workaway. I don’t do very well with being a tourist. I love to immerse myself in a culture, live like a local, and experience life as it’s lived on a daily basis, by the regional resident. Despite my lack of travel, I’m experienced in different cultures through my time couchsurfing and couch hosting. I’ve also been able to meet lots of people through various experiences and events.

I have a degree in Information Systems. But, what really excites me are creative and spiritual pursuits, such as: writing, making movies, spoken words, cooking, playing music, working with the land, building natural homes, facilitating shamanic and plant medicine journeys, creating men’s gatherings, initiating deep, intimate conversations, etc.

I hope to connect with some of you through this platform. I hope to learn from you, and share with you a perspective of the world through my experiences.

I am a certified yoga teacher, a certified meditation teacher, and a certified life coach.

I also love rock climbing, sky diving, sailing and surfing (although I don’t swim very well), writing and reading.

I love people, and I also love to explore on my own just as much.

I'm a minimalist traveler, and do my best to leave a place better than I found it.
