Description

Hello! I’m Lily and I’m currently travelling on a one-way ticket from NZ around the world. I’m passionate about learning and for me travelling is the most rewarding way to do that. I understand that it’s a privilege to explore the world this way so being able to participate in Workaway means I can contribute back to the people and cultures I’m being immersed in.

I love trying new activities — whether it’s manual labor, teaching, working outdoors or helping around the house, I welcome the challenge. I’m open minded, adaptable, and looking forward to helping out wherever I can!

What else ...

In my spare time I equally enjoy at home and outdoor activities. I’m especially passionate about the ocean so I love surfing, snorkelling, swimming, kayaking and the like. Overall I love anything that I can do outdoors such as hiking, biking, or camping. Otherwise, I’m just as pleased to play card games or have an art afternoon indoors. Back at home I used to love spending rainy days sewing and cooking, or completing DIY projects like fixing my surfboards and making a bed inside my car.

Lily is a fantastic volunteer who you would be lucky to have come to your site to lend a hand. She is honest kind considerate and a hard worker. Above all she is a wonderful person that I'm glad to have had the opportunity to get to know.

Chixculub was an incredibly special time for me. I was seeking a place to practice Spanish, immerse in culture, and find some peace -- arriving in Chicxulub honestly felt like a hug. Don Hector provided a home away from home, along with knowledge upon knowledge of almost everything really. I feel very blessed to have learned maya culture, … read more

Lily is amazing. From the beginning to the end of her stay with us she maintained an incredibly positive attitude. She regularly went the extra mile to ensure we finished whatever task we had started, from pouring concrete footings to installing roof tiles. On one of her first days she took on the woodworking task of upgrading a shelving unit to … read more

This was my first workaway gig and it’s going to be hard to beat! The valley is an amazing way to learn about the culture, practice Spanish with Yanera and Margarita who cook the best food for the crew, and learn new skills from construction to the 1000 ways to make a fruit juice. Rob is a legend and always keen to explain and teach you anything, … read more
