Description
Hello! My name is Kate and I'm 24 years old. This is my first time using Workaway, although the account has been sitting here calling to me for a long time...
In Ireland, we have many sayings written in the Irish language. One of them is - "Bíonn siúlach scéalach" - which means - 'Travellers have many stories to tell'. I believe this saying is very true for all of us! I want to meet people and learn their stories.
I also want to gain new experiences and see more of Europe before I go back to university in the autumn, which is in Vienna. I love working with plants, reading and writing, and I am an aerialist . I have experience in retail and service jobs, and I am not afraid to get my hands dirty and put in some labor. -
