CURRENT TRAVELS
I am currently committed to hosts for the foreseeable future and am not looking for any other placements right now. Thank you!

__________________________________________________
In January 2021, I left my job in the FinTech industry to pursue a different way and pace of life. Through Workaway I’m seeking to create meaningful and fun experiences by seeing the world and connecting with interesting people along the way!

I live to learn and aim to both expand my skills and provide help to hosts through Workaways. I am particularly interested in culture/language exchanges and learning more about sustainability, food production, and gardening practices. One day I would like to grow my own food, so I’m looking to expand my skills in this area.

I am conscious about the environment, so I aim to live a low-waste lifestyle and eat a vegan diet. In my free time, I love being active and outdoors. I took up cycling last year and got up to 50 mile long rides, and my goal is to reach at least 100 mile rides this year. As a Coloradan, I've climbed many 14ers (14,000 ft. mountains), and running and hiking are also favorites. All this is to say that I am happiest when outdoors, and am more than glad to assist with any workaway tasks you may have for me. For me, nature brings a certain peace and contentment that I can't find anywhere else.

What I most value in life: meaningful conversations, connecting with nature, working hard, good food, exchanging culture/thoughts/ideas/language
