Description
Greetings!
My name is Lizzy, I'm a 24-year old from Christchurch, New Zealand travelling to Peru in March. It has always been my dream to come to South America for the beaches, mountains, and jungles, as well as the opportunity to practise my spanish.
I am looking to help with Workaway projects focused on sustainability. I am passionate about environmental issues and climate change having recently completed a Masters of Environmental Science, measuring sea ice thickness in Antarctica! I also enjoy working with kids, cooking, using tools and learning new skills. But any opportunity to live and work with local people sounds wonderful.
I adore the outdoors, particularly when it involves hiking, surfing, climbing, running or science field work. These are all activities I am super keen to get involved with whilst in South America. Also, reading, cooking/baking and live music all bring me a lot of joy 💖

Hola!
Mi llamo Lizzy, tengo 24 años y soy de Christchurch, Nueva Zelanda. Viajaré a Peru en marzo. Siempre he soñado con venir a Sudamérica por sus playas, las montañas y selvas, además de por la oportunidad de practicar mi español.
Busco colaborar en proyectos Workaway centrados en la sostenibilidad. Me apasiona el medio ambiente y el cambio climático, y recientemente completé una maestría en Ciencias Ambientales, donde midí el espesor del hielo marino en la Antártida. También, disfruto trabajando con niños, cocinando, usando herramientas y aprendiendo nuevas habilidades. Pero cualquier oportunidad de vivir y trabajar con la gente local me parece maravillosa.
Adoro el aire libre, especialmente cuando implica senderismo, surf, escalada, correr o trabajo de campo científico. Todas estas son actividades en las que tengo muchas ganas de participar mientras esté en Sudamérica. Además, leer, cocinar, hornear, y escuchar música en vivo me brindan mucha alegría 💖
