Description

Hello all!
I’m an 18-year-old from Australia trying to travel a bit before starting university, where I plan to study chemical engineering (ATAR 93.85 predicted). Although Australia is a wonderful place, it’s stinking hot, flat, and is where yellow shrubs pass for 'trees'- I’m ready to see what the rest of the world has to offer.

I’m curious, easygoing, and passionate about learning - particularly about languages and cultural exchange. I read a lot and have a keen interest in philosophy and literature, and would be happy to chat about thinkers and writers with you - from Kant, Aristotle, and Dante to Nietzsche, Dostoyevsky, or Jung.

I’m a native English speaker, studied French in school, speak Indonesian at a high-intermediate level, and am currently dabbling in a few Slavic languages. I believe that learning languages is one of the best ways to foster understanding and cross-cultural empathy. The connection through sharing language is one of the things I find most rewarding about life, and I've often found that the best laughs and conversations-are ones where you don't know what's being said!

I’m very active, and as a former national-level swimmer, I’m fit and healthy. I should be able to handle whatever physical tasks you ask of me, and I believe deeply in pushing my limits and learning in an authentic way - whether physically or intellectually.

I was inspired to join Workaway after my first international trip to Rote, Indonesia. I stayed with a local family who spoke almost no English, and the conversations and friendships I built there are among the happiest memories of my life. While I wouldn’t be able to afford travel without the hospitality of hosts -for which I am extremely grateful - ,it’s that desire to foster human connection that truly drives my presence on workaway.

I’ll always be happy to help and am open to learning new skills, and looking forward to meeting you!

Very interested in learning whatever language you speak at home, and I'd love to start picking French back up again (I am *very* rusty).
