Kodiak Island, AK, United States - from Jun 2024 until Sep 2024 View allDescription
Naturally, I've always been curious. New environments and surroundings keep my spirit youthful while growing wise, continuously learning, staying excited and present for even the mundane activities. I enjoy painting, biking, gardening, sports, and anything outdoors.
I served in the US Peace Corps in Madagascar for three years, where I lived in a rural community and participated in many projects focused on agriculture and the environment, in addition to activities about youth development, sports, community health, and English teaching; a powerful and humbling experience, as well as a beautiful culture.
Upon evacuation from Madagascar because of the pandemic, I completed a solo cross-country journey (~6,000 miles) across the United States sleeping in my tent and locals' homes along the way. I learned so much about this country, saw some of the most beautiful spaces in nature, and met the most amazing individuals along the way.
Since the start of 2021, I sold original and commissioned paintings that were inspired by my travels. This inspired me to pursue a Workaway project for seven weeks in Lagos, Nigeria. I offered art classes and mural projects for elementary school students. Even in a short time, I found this experience so impactful, mainly because of the hospitality and openness of the people; I grew very close with the students, teachers, and my hosts. Following this experience I was a teaching assistant for 2 months in my niece's class in Detroit, Michigan.
My most recent Workaway experience was at a hostel on Kaua'i for four months (July-Nov. 2021). A very inspiring and stimulating experience maintaining a space, hosting people from all over the world, meeting new faces every day, and exchanging stories.
I have a lot of energy fueled by love and gratitude that I wish to pay forward and share with others.Interests
