Description

Hi everyone! My name is Louisa, I am new to workaway, but I am so so excited about the opportunities to come with it. I absolutely love traveling; my most recent travels include going to Kenya in March with my university and backpacking through Italy with a few of my friends over the summer. Now I am ready for my first solo trip! I ld say I am extroverted and outgoing; I have always loved meeting people and hearing about their life experiences. I love listening to music and learning about new music. I grew up camping and hiking with my family, so I love anything outdoors. I actually worked on a little garden at my house where I grew tomatoes, blackberries and radishes, so I'm super excited to help out on a farm. I am a summer lover; I feel like summer is when I truly live because I get to be outside all day swimming in lakes or rivers. I am from the middle of North Carolina, so I am in between the mountains and the beach, and love going to both. I really like to read books if I'm alone and play card games with my friends and family. I love baking and cooking, and I'm eager to learn to cook new recipes. I also love taking photos with my digital camera and would say I have a very good eye for photography. I would also consider myself very active, I lift weights, but I love running and doing yoga in addition to that. I'm very ambitious and beyond excited to explore parts of the world that I've never been before!!

More details about your skills

I’m very tenacious and hard working, once i start something i won’t give up on it. I’m very good with the outdoors and physically able so i can do demanding work for long periods of time. I volunteered with an organization called habitat for humanity where i helped build houses, which definitely increased my hands on skills. I am very good at learning new skills such as learning to cook something new or improving my rock climbing skills. I was a host at a restaurant so I’m great at interacting with strangers, and making people feel welcome. I am great with kids and animals as i do a lot of babysitting and petsitting!

What else ...

I’m outgoing when it comes to trying new food so i’m very eager to get to eat foods i don’t normally eat in the united states! Card games are one of my favorite pastimes, and i love teaching people how to play the ones i love. I am passionate about thrifting, I get 90% of my clothes second hand and i love having unique clothes from that. I played the piano all growing up, and while i don’t play anymore i still have a lot of muscle memory from it. I enjoy photography, I have a digital camera that was my moms and I take it any place i travel to so i can take photos.
