Description
I'm planning to travel to Nepal and China in May and maybe after May. It would be nice to do some volunteering and feel useful, as well as staying in one place a bit longer and getting to know local people and culture.
I'm vegan and am looking for hosts who don't mind accommodating that (i.e. if you don't cook vegan for workawayers I would need to be able to cook my own meals).
I have experience with vegetable gardening, some building (sawing, path repair), bike repair and would be interested in teaching but don't have recent experience. I'm a scientist and speak some (European) languages.
