Description

I am currently living in Australia on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula and have connected with Sri Lankan family. I have visited three times and coming back again soon.

Whilst on this stay, I would like to expose myself to community enterprises volunteer opportunities that are available through workaway. I currently work for a walking bespoke Travel company doing administration accounts/finance matters, which I am able to do remotely.

Previously for about 15months, I lived in Thailand and teaching English in a small school in a local village in the remote north east region.. I lived and supported a volunteer project that teaches organic agriculture methods, natural building methods, mosaics, yoga and meditation Thai culture. I am now back from overseas and spending some time travelling around to help develop and grow myself.

I am looking to expose myself to new experiences especially in projects connected women empowerment, children education/learning and development, farming and gardening, culture/lifestyles exposure and methods, yoga meditation, languages. Art projects as I enjoy this area very much. very passionate about doing any art project I can and love to draw an paint in my spare time.

I believe in treading softly and making a gentle impact on the planet but making big impact on the heart and people.

Well me... hmmm. I an independent and very capable women and I know I can do just about anything if I put my mind to it.. I have open mind and big generous heart... just happy to share and help!!!
