Description
Hi there!
I'm Ruby, 23 years old and recent graduate in sociology and journalism. I'm originally from Northern California and I've been living in Berlin, Germany for the past four years through a university scholarship. I enjoy making music and hosting a radio show at a community centre, writing short stories and speculative fiction, dancing and listening to live music. I have experience in audio and graphic design for communications, as well as basic video editing, and would love to contribute these skills. I'm a very social person and love meeting people, cooking together and having interesting conversations.
For the past two years, I've been living in collective housing (currently with 13 people) where we care for our home, organize ourselves and do DIY repairs. I enjoy Workaway as a way to contribute to the places where I go, be involved in community life and build real connections when I travel. I'm planning to move back to the US next year and will visit my adopted grandparents near CDMX in the fall, and travel around Mexico for a few months October through January, before I return home. I'm searching for projects that are warm and welcoming, with a desire to truly affect the world rather than only withdraw from it, and where I can contribute meaningfully.
I am outgoing and a quick learner who enjoys connecting with people, is a committed worker and cares about treating people and the land with respect. I speak English, Spanish, and German and would love to primarily talk in Spanish during my travels:)
There's a bit of info about me:) if you have any questions, just ask! -

Quelles sont vos compétences ?
Formal work experience in housecleaning and dishwashing
Informal work removing invasive plants, organic gardening, cooking (I make great salads), helping paint/clean/repair old houses, canning/drying fruits
Most importantly, I want to learn - that's why I'm doing this - and I am not one to complain or be finnicky with using my hands.
Also I recently assisted in slaughtering a pig, and though I wouldn't want to be responsible for killing an animal, I feel comfortable with preparing meat and cleaning up if it comes down to it. I also feel quite comfortable with animals while they are alive; much more so, actually, than when not. -
