Description

Hello, I'm Kayla :) I'm an Iranian-American traveler, yogi, and photographer. I love nature, learning, books, yoga, meditation, and animals.

I finished graduate school 3 years ago and have been solo traveling on and off ever since. In that time, I've accomplished yoga teacher trainings in India and Thailand, volunteered on intentional permaculture farms/communities in Italy and Greece, done housekeeping at sweet, quiet hostels in Albania and Georgia, social repping and social media at hostels on islands in Thailand and Indonesia, lived with monks in northern Thailand, and explored around other countries like Oman, Scotland, Vietnam, and Laos. It's been quite the adventure! I run a travel photography account called @takingpicturesofearth if you'd like to see it all.

I'm currently exploring volunteering in Malaysia and Indonesia for 2-5 months as I wait for an Australian working holiday visa.

Quelles sont vos compétences ?

- 400-hour certified yoga instructor with 6 months of teaching experience. I have a 200-hour Ashtanga and Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Certification from Rishikesh Vinyasa Yoga School obtained in India in September 2023 as well as a 200-hour Hatha and Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Certification from La Casa Shambala obtained in Koh Phangan, Thailand in August 2025. I like to teach a mix of hatha, dynamic vinyasa, and yin classes, always emphasizing the original Indian roots of yoga and focusing on yogic philosophy, meditation, breath work, and mindfulness.

- Hostel volunteer experience doing reception, working a bar, cleaning kitchens/bathrooms/dorms, doing laundry, preparing large meals, general hospitality. If I added it all up I've spent 15 months of my life living/volunteering in hostels!

-Social media experience running the Instagram for a hostel in Koh Phangan, Thailand (you can check out @KohmunityHostel on Instagram to see my photos/management)

- I'm a self taught photographer! Not a lot of professional experience yet but I'm hoping to get some soon. I'm also learning DaVinci currently for video editing. You can check out @takingpicturesofearth on Instagram to see some of my photography portfolio

- 6 months of experience in eco-communities on organic permaculture farms (permaculture gardening, planting trees for a food forest, olive harvesting, almond harvesting, compost construction/management, hospitality, communal living, cleaning, cooking)

- Content creation for a food justice non-profit restaurant in Denver, CO called SAME (So All May Eat) Cafe (video planning, filming, editing, photography, written descriptions for educational distribution)

- 5 years of front desk/hospitality experience at various desks (an office, an old folks/nursing home, university dorms)

- 5 years of experience in restaurants/food service (serving, barista, register, sandwich making, smoothies/vegan food, shift management)

- Also not professional experience but I love children and have cared for them before! I lived with my sister and her family on and off for the past few years helping to care for her two amazing daughters (ages 3 and 6) as they've grown up and it has been a joy :)

Autres infos...

I like to read, watch movies, listen to music, meditate, practice yoga, do tarot, go for walks, hike, just be outside--very mundane hobbies! I have very serious passions in social justice, climate change, equity, but personally I'm very relaxed and laid back.
