Description

Hello hello!
My name is Olivia. I'm 26 years old and was raised in a small farming community in Utah. From a young age, I became interested in the world beyond my small town and found an ever-growing desire to learn and experience all of the wonderful things the world has to offer! While I was living on the farm for the first 18 years of my life, I gained a lot of experience working with animals. Our farm had cows, horses, chickens, turkeys, goats, cats, dogs, bunnies, and llamas. I really value spending time and caring for animals, which led to my desire to live a plant based lifestyle. Later in university, I studied Linguistics and Humanities in university and took advantage of opportunities to volunteer as an English teacher in China and later as a student of the Arabic language in Jordan. I'm currently working on learning Turkish!
After graduating from university, I worked at a non-profit organization assisting refugees from all over world in their resettlement to Utah. I cherish the chance I had there to connect with many kind and wonderful souls.
I love to explore new places (even in my own neighborhood). Music, art, and literature are some of my favorite parts of being alive; I also find meaning in challenging myself by learning new languages, skills, and ways of thinking about the world. I'm so excited to continue finding connection and community all over our big, beautiful world!

My name is Tennie, and I’m 23 years old and from Salt Lake City, Utah. I'm about to graduate from university with a degree in Journalism, Arabic, and Sociology. I’m interested in just about everything, which makes it really tough to decide which path I want to take with my life! As of right now, I think I’m going to pursue freelance writing for a good long while, and I want to travel around meeting new people, working hard, learning new crafts, and living off of whatever I can earn. I love to listen to birdsong/rivers/conversations/music, I love to read, I love to swim, bike, hike, paint, dance, sit around a fire, smell the rain, smell the flowers, and bake in the sun. I am very easily and often in love with life. I’m learning to play the banjo, and I love making blackberry pies. I have been really eager to work with my hands and connect with the land, as well as live in an intentional community that takes care of each other & the earth. I’m relatively tidy, as in I do my dishes and always make my bed, although I love messes borne of creativity and I usually have an ever-growing pile of incense ash on my nightstand.

More details about my language interests
I have devoted the past 3 years in college to learning Arabic, and I lived in Jordan for 4 months last fall working on my fluency. I would love to continue this journey in any capacity I can! I'm also fluent in English, and I have worked as a children's English teacher before, so I could be a language partner for anyone trying to learn English and could help provide structured learning! I would also love learning a little bit of any other languages!
