  • Descripción

    Hey! My name is Kylie, I'm an avid backpacker and love exploring new places. I've found I really enjoy the freedom of solo traveling, and the opportunities I've gotten through meeting and working with locals during past workaways and couchsurfing have been very valuable to me. I love it when I can connect with other people with vastly different backgrounds, as the most enriching learning opportunities can be from these experiences. I also understand that I have a lot of unique experiences I can teach to others, and would be glad to do a language exchange.

    This past year was spent learning Chinese in Taipei, Taiwan. My home base in Arizona, U.S.A, where I graduated from school studying international relations, and also have academic interest in urban planing and sustainable business. Additionally, over the past year I have gained a big interest in cooking. Since I've lived in the southwest United States, I really enjoy spicy food and could cook a number of Mexican dishes for anyone interested!

    I hope my experiences through workaway can help me learn better ways to live sustainably and contribute to the effort to advocate for this lifestyle. I'm particularly eager to do any work that involves learning about the environment, in order to decide how I will ultimately contribute to solving environmental issues. In my personal life, I try to avoid driving when possible and bike to most places I need to go, I also eat mostly vegetarian food and buy all my clothes second hand.

    As I mentioned before, I've also been pretty passionate about languages for a while, mostly Chinese and Japanese, and have poured a lot of time into studying them. However I want to branch out and learn more about different languages and forms of communication. Previously, when I went to Thailand, I entered the country only knowing the basics and by the end of my stay I was confident in small conversations and reading. This experience was so fun that I am excited to take the time to learn any local language/ writing system I am immersed in during future trips.

  • Que habilidades tienes?

    Previously on workaway, I worked at a hostel doing basic cleaning after guest left and checking them in. I also assisted an English teacher in Thailand to work with students on their English pronunciation and conversation. Outside of workaway, I have done Chinese to English translations, experience volunteering at my local park, doing beach clean ups, setting up for events and running stands at festivals. I've been working as a lifeguard for four years now so I can perform first aid and CPR if needed. I am very comfortable using many different social media sites. I also used to work at a ski resort where I learned how to run and maintain a resort and interact with the public. Throughout my life I have spent many summers tending to my families' huge garden, so I have some knowledge of caring for and maintaining plants, and I'm not afraid to get dirty. I can pick up on anything else pretty quick and am very open to learning new skills.
