Description

Hi there!

My name is Sydney :-)
I’m set to arrive in Europe at the end of January! I’m 26 years old and an active traveler. Since graduating from university in 2020, I’ve been traveling around the U.S working on farms through WWOOF. I love to work outdoors and with my hands, and have learned a lot about agriculture and horticulture over the last few years.

I am curious, joyful, energetic, and kind. I love meeting new people, sharing stories, and learning from one another. I love to sing, dance, be silly, and play. I love reading, writing, pottery, roller skating, running, hiking, and meditation. I'm currently involved in a few writing projects, and look to further my both my practice and my offerings.

I value mental health and trauma informed care / wellbeing. Fostering safe and nurturing connections with both kiddos and adults is very important to me. I have a certificate in Somatic Awareness and Regulation Strategies, and am a certified yoga instructor for both children and adults.

At University I studied language, culture, and religion ~ with an emphasis on Spanish and Arabic. I am seeking to learn more languages, as I find language a beautiful portal into deep and meaningful connection!

My work experience is mostly in agriculture and childcare. I love being playful with little ones, and helping them to feel safe and regulated in their bodies, mind, and spirit. I’m highly attuned to the needs of others, and consider myself adaptive and compassionate.

I’m looking to live in and learn more about alternative ways of living, with an emphasis on sustainability and meaningful community.

Lastly, I'm inspired by the notion of hope, and my personal hope lies in humanity and our connection to each other and the world around us. I see human connection as a gift, and through travel I seek to know, celebrate, and cherish it.

Thanks for reading! I look forward to connecting with you :-)
