Description
Hola! Me llamo Lucy, y soy de Oxfordshire, UK.

After 2 years of Lockdown, I'm so looking forward to travelling. I have left my data analyst job in London, giving me a chance to recalibrate and recharge. I hope to learn and immerse myself in other cultures, meet new friends and most importantly re-connect with nature. I'm very outdoorsy and active - I enjoy running, cold-water swimming, yoga and gardening - nature is the best healer! I am also very creative (I studying Graphics at art school), and love painting, pottery and design.

I'm interested in organic farming, living a clean & spiritual lifestyle, being kind to others and looking after our planet.

I am going to Costa Rica in April to work on a medicinal plant farm and do projects with the local communities. I would love to find another farm stay, wellness center or art project to work on while I am in Mexico (May-June)

This is my first time as a Workaway, but I have done other volunteering roles as a mentor to young people leaving prison with a charity called Key4life, teaching art classes in a prison and also volunteering at an illustration festival.

Lucy is an amazing person, always available to help and give more than an extra mile. Very supportive and she knows all about hard working. She was always asking to extra work.

This was an amazing experience. I have so much gratitude to Julian and to this project. It was a fantastic opportunity to be creative, to make new friends and live in a culture packed city that is Oaxaca. Julian is very generous with his time and also including volunteers in events and other activities. Thank you!
