Description

Hello, I'm Kait! I'm currently based in Brussels, where I just graduated from a masters degree in documentary filmmmaking. Now looking ahead to new volunteer experiences throughout the rest of 2024.

I've loved traveling and getting to know new people ever since taking a gap year to volunteer in Central/South America. In the last ten years, I've lived in Peru, Bolivia, Mexico, Cuba, Spain, Portugal, Hungary, and Belgium. I love long bike rides, serendipity, and hosting storytelling nights.

Many of my favorite places in the world are accessed solely by long, winding dirt paths: a yoga center in the forests of Málaga where I learned to cook elaborate vegan meals; a permaculture farm on Ometepe Island where I looked after chickens and banana trees; and a small high school in the Andalucían mountain town where I taught English classes. I am restored and amazed by these types of warm, nurturing experiences I've had on my travels, in places like these... and I'm eternally thankful for networks like Workaway, and especially its people, who I still have so much to learn from.
