Description

Hello, my name is Iona and I'm from Scotland. I recently finished university and am taking a few months to reengage with yoga and do some travelling. I love learning new things - ideally while meeting interesting people and experiencing new places - but a good book works quite well too. I am lucky enough to have travelled solo before, but this time I have one goal: I would like to drastically improve my Spanish.
On previous work exchanges I have helped out in hostels and coliving spaces, often teaching yoga and planning group activities, as well as helping with admin, and breakfasts, and the range of little things that go into keeping hostels going.
I studied anthropology in uni so it goes without saying culture fascinates me. Growing up in the wild Highlands of Scotland has fostered a love for the outdoors (especially in the warmer half of the year), and I also enjoy exercise, cooking, and drawing. As a 500hr certified yoga teacher, I am always looking for ways to follow my passion for movement, meditation, and philosophy, and to expand my practice, whether through teaching or personally. So, my interests are wide-ranging and I look forward to seeing which places I can explore through helping others.

Quelles sont vos compétences ?

I am an organiser. I like to have a plan and see it through, foreseeing and solving any problems as they arise. I'm sure I have what must be fairly standard computer skills for my generation, but I also have some marketing training and experience managing social media platforms for a university organisation. I have plenty experience of customer service too, mainly through working for a few years as a waitress.
At home I cook all the time, often do some gardening, and of course, cleaning and general maintenance. That is not to say I am knowledgeable in any of these areas to a particular standard, but in terms of general tasks, I am pragmatic and like to get on with things, learning from others when I need to.
Finally, I am a 500hr qualified Hatha and Vinyasa yoga teacher and a fitness instructor. I am a trained meditation teacher as well. I loved teaching part time through university, and if a host could use these skills that's great.

  Unfortunately I get bad hayfever and often find I am sensitive to animal hair/fur, especially horses. Pets are usually fine as long as I can keep them out of the room where I will be sleeping.
