Description
My mission is to live a mindful life and contribute some value through volunteering. It's all about sharing knowledge and helping one another.
From July 2022 to November 2023, I lived happily in the exciting cities of Tokyo and Osaka. Since leaving, I've visited Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, and California. I spent time with friends and volunteering in Sri Lanka before travelling to India for a Vipassana meditation course. From India, I travelled to Morocco and Spain before returning to the UK at the end of January 2025.
Before visiting Japan, I spent three fantastic months travelling through the Catalan region. I'm happiest when travelling!
In August 2025, I began my South American adventure by travelling from Portugal to Colombia. From there, I travelled to Peru, Chile, Argentina/Patagonia, Brazil, Bolivia, and Ecuador. I'm now in the Colombian Amazon, and my next two stops are Santa Marta and Cartagena. After which, I fly to London and my South American adventure comes to an end. However, my next destination in 2026 is China.
I'm interested in ancient history and philosophy, as well as writing short stories, often with steampunk/futuristic themes. I enjoy volunteering at global Buddhist centres to be part of a mindful community, meditate and help quieten the mind.

Quelles sont vos compétences ?
I worked in the UK social sector for 16 years; it was challenging, eventful, and totally worth it. I have volunteered on a Kibbutz in the Negev desert, Buddhist communities in Scotland, England, France, the USA, Malaysia, and Brazil, and volunteered as an English teacher in Sri Lanka, Peru and Nepal. I have basic counselling qualifications and experience in mentoring. I have taught English online in the UK and in person in Japan. I graduated in 2019 with a BA (Hons).

It was a pleasure to meet Ceci and her students. Ceci is a hard-working teacher, and I enjoyed the opportunity to contribute to her school and to improve my teaching skills. The volunteering schedule wasn't demanding. I had plenty of free time to enjoy the beauty of Villa La Angostura and to take the bus to the larger town of Bariloche. I highly… read more

Having Julie with us for two weeks was the best! She is so outgoing and ready to work and collaborate in any way that she really made it so easy and comfortable for all of us. Students loved having her! We will miss her! And anyone having her will be really lucky! Please come back to visit us once again!

I really enjoyed meeting the cafe team and teaching the students. I felt welcomed and supported, and all the students worked hard to improve their language skills. I had a positive volunteering and teaching experience, and the cafe is highly recommended. My thanks and best wishes to everyone.

Julie joined our club for 10 days and it was such a lovely time for us to meet, talk, and be walked through the world by her traveling stories. There was a very bright, energetic yet calming energy radiating from her that everyone could instantly feel, especially when we were with her in the class. Our students had the chance to learn new things… read more

Thanks to the lovely people at this place. My volunteer experience was valuable, and I enjoyed working with some interesting and wonderful people. The temple is beautiful and peaceful, and the surrounding area is good for walking meditation. I worked in the kitchen, which was perfect for me, but there are many work areas for volunteers to join.… read more

I joined the community in January. I planned to stay for about six weeks but enjoyed my time so much I extended it to nine weeks.
Everyone at the centre was friendly, helpful and inclusive, and I was lucky enough to share my time with a fantastic group of volunteers. Monica was caring, taking her role of volunteer coordinator to heart, making sure… read more

My three-week stay with Nuria was my first Workaway experience and I had a great time. Despite Nuria's busy schedule, she found time to cook delicious meat-free meals and arrange a morning out to the Roman Aqueduct, which is definitely worth a visit. Speaking English with Dana was easy because she is bright and enjoys communicating. Taking care of… read more

Julie stayed with us for 3 weeks in autumn. She is clever, strong-willed, reliable and brave. Her many life experiences made dinner conversations very enriching. She did her best to help us at home and also be part of our family routines, always doing more than she was asked for. I would strongly recommend hosting her!
