Description

Hello, I'm Kina :) I'm 30yo and this is my second workaway journey abroad - I started in 2022 when I spent 6 months in England and Scotland and, because I had such great experiences, I decided to go back again this past year and got to workaway a second time with some of my previous hosts.

Travelling has been a big part of my life since I turned 19 and went for a year volunteer experience in England. After that year I realized I didn't want to stay in my home country doing what everyone else my age was doing and, since then, I’m always making plans for new experiences abroad – I’ve also worked on a cruise ship between Alaska and Canada and was an AuPair in Massachusetts US for 2.5 years. I have a degree in Linguistics and hold a TEFL certification.

I believe myself to be a pretty self sufficient, reliable and proactive person. I'm outgoing and social but I also like some private space and alone time. Going on hikes, exploring villages, cities and historical places, cooking/eating, and chillin with a book or movie are things I love doing. I'm very open minded and curious and respect all peoples and cultures the same way I like to be respected :)

Quelles sont vos compétences ?

I grew up in the countryside and have always done things around our property like helping in the garden and with the animals, picking fruits from the orchard and looking after our organic veggie patches. I would often ride horses while growing up, I'm not an expert but am a decent rider.

I also have a lot of experience in hospitality, specially since I became a workawayer. Here are the things I did:
2022
*gardening and changeovers at Grosmont House, North Yorkshire
*waitressing and changeovers at Ralia Lodge, Scotland
*house and pet sitting on the Isle of Skye, Scotland
*gardening and changeovers at holiday houses on the isles of Jura and Islay, Scotland
*housesitting in Fordingbridge, England
2023
*front of house in the pub at Invershin Hotel, Scotland
*waitressing and changeovers at Ralia Lodge, Scotland (2nd time)
*hotel and pet sitting at Invershin Hotel, Scotland (2nd time)
2024
*looking after horses and cats in Tuscany, Italy


I have lots of experience with childcare and teaching as well.

And I love cooking and baking - specially vegetarian dishes and with sourdough.
