Description

Hello potential host/s!

My name is Lana and I am from a small town in the West of Ireland. I'm 26 years old and I love animals, art, water, working with children, building, and dancing!!!
I like to travel but not in a rushed way. I love finding communities I can take part in and develop a sense of home while away.
I have studied art and am now working as a teacher online. For this reason I have to have a connection to the WIFI and I am free from 3pm to work in the evenings.
Some hobbies I have are crocheting, knitting, learning photography, learning salsa and I sometimes paint murals in the places I visit. I like painting murals and bringing my ideas to suit a space.
In Ireland I worked in community centers hosting projects and workshops for children, teenagers and adults. In my spare time on the weekends I loved spending time in community gardens and it's there I learned about beekeeping. Crazy the world of bees. Busy little things. I love using art as a way of connecting groups of people to collectively create. I have organised exhibitions, painting events, workshops and enjoy teaching a lot.
I was living in Peru for 9 months where I painted two murals, taught in a school and organsied a painting event for 70 people. Fun:) I am currently in Medillin and was visiting friends. I want to spend more time surrounded by water, trees, wildlife and mountains because the city buildings and chaos is great for a short time but I'm craving a peaceful slower paced way of living.

Well, that's a little piece of me.

Oh and I am learning Spanish and would love to speak Spanish. I'm beginning and my understanding is okay but I'm determined to learn!!

More details about your skills

Over the last Summer, I was a Nanny for primarily 3 children ages 7, 5 and 1 years old. For one month in Mallorca, I was minding 7 children, organising activities, arts and crafts and games to keep them occupied and learning!
When I was 18 I travelled to Germany as an Aupair and spent 4 months minding 3 children and their animals:)
Organising group murals and working with groups of people to do a project together is always a learning experience but I would love to do more work like this!
Working with animals. Experience with ponies, dogs, cats, bees and sheep during lambing season on my Uncles farm:)
I am open and looking forward to learning new skills.

Lana came to help, and she did excellent, she painted the wall of the rooms on the outside with outstanding skills, and her mark and pass through Gigante will always be remembered, totally recommended

This is lovely hostel that attracts a lovely group of volunteers and guests:) You can see the beach from the reception area which I loved. The hours aren't that long, you have a lot of freedom to do as you please and often in the evenings we would relax and play games together. The beaches are insanely beautiful, the town is small with lots of … read more

My room was cosy and I … read more
