  • Description

    Hi! My name is Karissa, I live in Alaska
    I work as a travel nurse throughout the winter months and take off the summer months to travel.
    I have done a few of Workaways in the US when I am road tripping and camping in my car. My first workaway was 6 yrs ago and I love coming back to it when I am traveling for longer periods of time to immerse in a place and meet new people. I enjoy the overall experience, especially meeting new people, getting to explore new places and learn new skills!
    My travel goals are biking Scotland in July. I plan to start in Edinburgh and do most of the North 500 with some modifications to explore the Cairngorms. If you are a host and are open to short stays I would love to meet some local people on this journey!
