Description

Welcome,

I'm Alysia, daughter of a British mom and a Spanish dad but born and raised in Belgium. I left the country in 2012 and have been living and working in mostly English speaking countries.

I'll be traveling around Colombia and Central America until June. My main passions are yoga and dance, being in nature and finding community in different pockets of the world.

My goal for this year is to become near fluent in Spanish, see all the Mayan ruins and spend my free time hiking, drawing, reading, etc (anything but be on my phone essentially.) Bonus points for any new skills I can pick up along the way, especially surrounding permaculture.

My WorkAway preferences are hostels, permaculture farms, intentional communities or working with kids and women, NGO's, and at animal sanctuaries.

For a full list of skills I can offer, see the skills section but in short:
- Hospitality
- Photography/Social Media
- Yoga Teacher
- Grant Writer

Bienvenida,

Me llamo Alysia, soy hija de una madre británica y un padre español (nunca me enseñó español – ¡todavía lo estoy aprendiendo!), crecí en Bélgica. Me fui en 2012 para viajar y trabajar alrededor del mundo. He estado viviendo en Inglaterra durante casi 8 años.

Viajaré por Colombia y Centroamérica hasta Junio. Me encanta bailar, estar en la naturaleza y hablando con gente interesante.

Tengo muchos pasatiempos, pero me quiero enfocar en hacer yoga, dibujar, aprender espanol y explorar muchas culturas. Quiero viajar despacio y quedarme en cada lugar por dos a cuatro semanas.

Ahora mismo, estoy buscando lugares tranquilos en el campo donde pueda practicar español y relajarme en mi tiempo libre. Me interesa trabajar en las granjas de permacultura, comunidades intencionales, hostales, con ninos o mujeres, y santuarios de animales.

Pero estoy abierta a todo.

Gracias por su atención. ¡Nos vemos pronto!

Quelles sont vos compétences ?

+ Hospitality - I've worked in various hostels, hotels, chalets, cafés, etc around the globe as a housekeeper, barista, (hsk and bistro) supervisor and eventually (hsk and café) manager.

+ Certified Yoga Teacher - Specialty in Mayan Kankueb. I've taught yoga in England as a volunteer at my local rowing club and the women's circle I created in 2024.

+ Activity Leader - I created and led activities for a women's circle and led children's activities.

+ Content Creator/Writer - I was the Editor in Chief for a local magazine in my Belgian hometown, and have written several articles (and one novel) in my life.

+ Photographer/Social Media - I've volunteered as a photographer for Ritmo Del Rio, an ecolodge/emerging conservation hub, in San Rafael, Colombia.

+ (Non-profit) Grant Writer/Consultant - I created a CIC (Community Interest Company) in the UK and applied for my own funds, etc. I co-worked on a conservation project for Ritmo Del Rio in San Rafael, Colombia. I would love to help other organizations with designing programs, brochures, translating documents and applying for grants.

I have experience working on farms and homestays via WWOOF in the US and Canada, planting and harvesting various vegetables (onions, beans, potatoes, etc) and some fruits (cherry picking, etc.)
I grew some of my own veggies during lockdown and have become a plant mom.

Autres infos...

I have so many hobbies and interests that I tried to include in my main bio, but perhaps this space would be better suited. Here goes!

I love all things music and play a bit of guitar, djembe and handpan. Spotify is the only subscription I pay for and it's worth every bit of it as I'm always listening to music.

I love crafting and have recently started learning how to crochet, but I never finish a project (actually that's not true, I made one summer poncho.)

I love drawing, specifically portraits but I'm looking to work on my painting and creating things in my mind rather than copy pasting from real life.

I love working with my hands in general. I did a pottery course last year and love creating useful, yet beautiful things.

I started a women's circle in 2024 to bring my community in the UK together and do things that didn't involve drinking or spending too much money.

I taught yoga and embodied dance lessons within the women's circle, and have really enjoyed seeing people coming out of their shell. Dancing is the most important thing in my life.

I love writing as well, but I'm out of practice. Once upon a time in my early twenties, I wrote and published a novel. I'm thinking about writing another one .. Maybe one day.
