Descrição

Hola! My name is Lindsay and I'm 29 years old from California. I currently live in San Diego with my partner and our precious pup! I am planning on taking off some time between August-December to explore Central and/or South America. I work as a speech and language pathologist in an elementary school and I'm passionate about supporting children with disabilities to communicate! I work with students ages 4-8 years old with a varying degree of needs and it both brings me so much joy and keeps me on my toes! Everyday I am challenged to think outside the box and practice patience and presence with my students. If you can't tell, I love my job! Outside of work I love tending to our small garden and cooking at home. I love being active and depending on the season surf, hike, camp, backpack, ski, practice yoga, and bike!

I haven't travelled for a significant period of time (more than 2 months) in almost a decade and the idea of immersing myself in another culture, learning the language, connecting with the people, eating the local food, hearing music, and learning new types of dance is so thrilling to me! I am pretty flexible and I can find 'home' in a lot of places, which makes the uncertainties of traveling much easier for me. I tend to be the 'peacemaker' in groups finding truth in everyone's perspectives and am told that I'm easy to talk to. I am looking for a Workaway where I can practice and immerse myself in Spanish, be part of a community, and make new friends. I take weekly Spanish lessons and took 8 years of Spanish growing up though consider myself a novice/intermediate speaker who can struggle through basic conversations. I am hopeful that I can become more fluent with travel and immersion!

Mais detalhes sobre meu interesse em idiomas
I am more than happy to support those who want to learn English! I am a speech-language therapist and work with students who speak a variety of languages that I do not speak, so I'm pretty used to communicating through a variety of means!
