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.
