Description

Hello Workaway! I have been using Workaway/WWOOF since 2019, and I’ve stayed with over 6 different hosts since then!! Workaway is my favorite way to travel and I’ve done a variety of things in my travels. I have led backpacking trips in Alaska, Washington State, and South Korea, volunteered on farms in Italy and California, and worked in a youth development project and a restaurant in Guatemala. I am currently traveling through Latin America and am primarily looking for opportunities where I can connect with the local culture and use Spanish! I’m especially interested in and have skills in working with kids, learning about sustainable and organic agriculture, working in customer service, marketing and social media, and language exchange. I'm very easy going, adaptable, and very interested in learning about other cultures!
