Description

Hello workaway community! My name is Sarah and I am 27 years old. I am from Ireland and grew up in a small village, but have spent the past 5 years living in the Netherlands studying and working. I am very lucky to currently be taking a break from work to travel in Latin America and Europe for 1 year, where I aim to see incredible nature, learn from local communities and get my hands dirty volunteering in workaway projects!

I am passionate about food, community and social connection, particularly local food systems, which I hope to contribute to in my workaways. I completed a Masters in Sustainable Development, where I focused on sustainable food system research. I then spent the past 2 years working for a university on European Union funded projects. In this work I collaborated with partners around Europe to tackle issues in our food system, primarily on how to support Short Food Supply Chains and Local Food Systems and address the issues of our globalized food system. Now that I have the academic background, I want to step away from the laptop and enter the farm and communities to improve my practical knowledge and skills!

My other personal interests include music, yoga and spending time with people. I am a social, independent and hardworking person who would love to contribute to grassroots initiatives and bring my positive energy to help those working hard everyday with the land to produce good food, and working to support and connect communities. You are my heroes!

I have completed several workaways on farms in Guatemala and Mexico in March-May 2025, and I am very grateful for my experiences there in which I learned a lot of new skills and cultures.

Please reach out with any questions or opportunities, I am very happy to connect!

Plus de détails sur les langues qui m'intéressent
During my time travelling and volunteering I have gained a basic level of Spanish which I am constantly improving. I have also been learning German (my partner is German!) and am very interested to improve. I am a fluent native English speaker so would be very open to teaching and helping others learn!
