I’m currently travelling in East and Southeast Asia. I love to hike, paint, read and just generally explore.
Description
Hello! My name is Tamar and I am backpacking around Southeast Asia.
I love to visit new places, meet new people and try new things.
In university, I studied political science, studio art, and Spanish. As an artist, I try to find beauty in everything. This means I can find joy in even the most mundane tasks. I am also interested in helping with any art projects or leading art activities. I worked as a counselor at an art summer camp, so I have experience leading art activities.
I have primarily traveled within the United States and Central America. In Costa Rica, I volunteered at an animal rescue center for two and a half weeks. My favorite part of the experience, besides how cute all the animals were, was the community. I also spent a month volunteering at a dog shelter in Mexico and a few weeks volunteering at a hostel in Belize.
I am very social and LOVE talking to people. While I am a solo traveler and content spending time on my own, my favorite thing to do is meet new people and build friendships!
I also love reading, art and nature. I am always ready to go on adventures, try new things, and work hard. I have worked in various different settings such as political campaigns, nonprofit organizations, and food service, so I can adapt to most work environments.Interests

Special dietary requirements
I am a vegan meaning I do not eat meat or animal products. In the case that this is a problem for meals provided by specific hosts, I am more than happy to obtain and prepare my own food.
