Description
Hey there! I’m on a journey of self-discovery, pushing myself out of my comfort zone and embracing new experiences. I love meeting people from all walks of life – it’s always inspiring to hear different perspectives. I’m really into yoga and meditation, which help me stay balanced, and I run my own podcast and YouTube channel where I share my thoughts on life. I enjoy having real, meaningful conversations with open-minded, genuine people. I’m excited to learn, grow, and contribute to a community while having fun along the way!

More details about your skills
I’ve had the opportunity to practice yoga in various beautiful places like Australia, Thailand, Bali, India, and Nepal, which has been incredibly enriching. I also hold a 200-hour certified yoga instructor certificate and a singing bowl certification. I’d love to offer mindfulness yoga and meditation classes to share the benefits I’ve experienced with others.

In addition to my yoga background, I’m always open to learning new skills! I’m especially interested in learning how to prepare vegetarian meals and getting more hands-on experience with farm life. I’m excited to dive into new activities and contribute in any way I can!

What else ...
I'm not really a backpacker looking for free places to stay—I'm genuinely interested in a slower, more peaceful way of life. After living in the middle of the city my whole life, I’m now focusing on connecting with nature, just really trying to find that inner peace. It’s all about slowing down and enjoying the simple things.

Sori, thank you for your wonderful review! It was a pleasure having you here, and we’re so glad you had such a positive experience.

Your help with farm maintenance, deep cleaning, and especially your efforts during the Holi Festival were truly appreciated. You brought great energy to the team, and your willingness to jump into different tasks… read more

**My Volunteer Experience at Hari Krishna Valley**

I recently volunteered at Hari Krishna Valley for a week, and I had an awesome time! Here's a breakdown of my experience:

**Transport:**
Getting there was pretty easy. There are three or four trains aday from Southern Cross Station to Winchelsea Station, and I grabbed an Uber to the farm, which… read more cost around $38. If the host is available, they can even pick you up and drop you off. For my return, I got a drop-off back to the station.

**Work:**
The work itself was a mix of farm chores and helping out with maintenance around the retreat center. I cleaned the cow shed, a couple of other sheds, worked on the gutters, and deep clean volunteer ashram. There was also a big event during my stay – the Holi Festival! I helped set up, moved equipment to the event area, and supervised the jumping castle running event (charging a fee of $5 to children). Once the event wrapped up, I helped pack everything back into the truck and get it back to the center.

**Accommodation:**
Volunteers have their own ashram, which is a pretty spacious house with six bedrooms, two bathrooms, two living rooms, and a kitchen. I shared it with just one or two other volunteers, and everyone had their own private bedroom. The kitchen was stocked with plenty of ingredients, so you can cook your own meals. The food delivery was delayed while I was there, but honestly, there was always something to eat, so no worries.

**Yoga:**
If you're hoping for daily or weekly yoga classes, that’s not really a thing here. There’s no set schedule for yoga classes. there is Thursday kirtan clas.

**Wildlife & Relaxation:**
One of the best things about being there was the nature. I saw lots of wild kangaroos hopping around – it was so cool! If you're looking for a slower pace of life, this is the place. I spent a lot of time reading books by the fireplace, enjoying the peaceful surroundings.

**Religious Factor:**
If you’re worried about the religious aspect - Krishna, don’t be. They’re super respectful and won’t force their beliefs on you. Personally, I’m agnostic, and I felt totally comfortable. It’s all about the community and the experience, not about pushing religion onto anyone.Infact as a women, I felt safer staying around temple and devote.

All in all, I had a really positive experience. The people were super friendly and treated volunteers with a respect. I loved my time there and would definitely go back again, especially when there’s a retreat happening!

Hari Krishna!

Sori was very hard working and willing to do whatever tasks she had to do diligently. She was very responsible checking she was doing a good job and asking for guidance so that she could adapt well to living in my home. I am happy to recommend her as a workaway guest.
