Travel information

I am currently

Activities i am interested in:

Yoga/meditation, bouldering, cycling, hiking, snowboarding, exercising, dancing, journaling, reading, cooking, and trying new restaurants/natural wine bars.

Description

I'm in a season of adventure and self-development, and I feel the two often go hand-in-hand. Novelty--seeing new places, meeting new people, making new external discoveries--is what grows me most internally as a person, and that motivates me to try new things even more. I've always believed change is good, and I can never seem to get enough of it...so why not do it while traveling the world?

More details about your skills

My most developed skill is definitely cooking--I love food and have been passionate about it my entire life. I'm currently a restaurant manager, so hospitality is a skill of mine, too. Next to that, I'm a very detail-oriented person and apply a strong work ethic to nearly everything I do. I'm also a fairly experienced gardener as I worked in a greenhouse for nearly 6 years during high school. I'm moderately active and love physical movement, especially when outdoors, so I feel very capable of completing the various tasks that might be required of me by a host. Having already completed two Workaway experiences now, I feel even more confident in my capabilities.

Age

23

What else ...

Aside from cooking and being active, I also love philosophy (and by default, reading). Despite what I'm already interested in, I'm trying to get better at/do more long-distance cycling and bouldering, as well as yoga and meditation. During my first Workaway in Hawaii, I really enjoyed the relaxed culture of island life and want to experience that lifestyle more, perhaps during my next Workaway! In my most recent Workaway in California, I learned a lot about wine and viticulture, which I'd love to learn more about, as well!
