Description

Hi there!
My name is Prudence, but I go by Ruby. I'm a lover of all things nature (hiking, taking care of my plants, etc) and of course, travelling! I'm a friendly person who works great on a team, but I also enjoy meeting new people and seeking out adventure. So far I’ve done one workaway in Mexico, as well as seeing close to half of the US states and a few other countries. However, I'm still itching to see more of the world! My current goals are to engage in cultural exchange, improve on my Spanish, learn how to grow food, and spend more time in the countryside (can't go wrong with stargazing!).

More details about my language interests
English is my first language, so I could teach it to others. The other language I speak is Spanish, but I'm better at reading and writing it than understanding when others speak it. I'd really like to become fluent though:)

More details about your skills

As of right now, I have over 7 years in customer service experience. I've worked at restaurants, retail, and now at the biggest (and busiest) gas station in the world! As a result, I've gained experience with interacting with people of all walks of life, especially at my current job, where I consistently cross paths with travelers from other states and countries.
Additionally, I've tended to and grown plants since I was very little, so I have experience in taking care of all sorts of plants, especially of the desert variety. I already know how to grow plants from seeds, propagation, creating stem cuttings, and much more. I've also taken a horticulture college class which aided me with more plant knowledge.
I'm also interested in and have: painted walls, refurbished furniture, helped build houses with Habitat for Humanity, and interior design.
Some of my other skills include the few years of Spanish I've taken, my CPR and nurse aide certifications, and tending to and teaching young children.

What else ...

One of my goals this year is to see the Milky Way! I think the universe is fascinating, but I've actually never been camping before and have lived too close to city lights my entire life to properly see the night sky.
I'm also an avid fan of good music- all kinds. Music in English, Spanish, Korean, French, you name it.
