Hello, I'm Kina :) 31yo and planning my 4th 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 make workaway my main way of travelling, I love it!
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 :)Centres d’intérêt

My pups took to her instantly. We only had one day together before I departed for my holiday.
When I came back my pups were in love with her and my house was spotless :)

In addition to this Quinay is a great person to work and live alongside.
