Crossing West Africa by motorbike!

Descrição

Latest August 2025: I’m currently crossing West Africa on my motorbike, navigating the rainy season and on the lookout for meaningful projects where I can volunteer and make a real impact.

I first discovered Workaway after getting a little bored of traveling only as a tourist. While staying at a hostel, I met some volunteers who recommended it, and ever since then it’s become my favorite way to travel. Through Workaway I’ve taken part in many projects across different countries, and I approach every opportunity with an open mind. There’s no task beneath me and I’m always eager to learn something new.

I also contribute as a Workaway Ambassador, so I’d be happy to hear your feedback about the platform, share experiences, and even create some content together if that’s something you’d enjoy.

I grew up in the United States, but these days I’m based in Cyprus. That said, I can’t really call it “home” because I spend most of my life on the road. In the last few years I’ve traveled over 100,000 km by motorbike, from Vietnam all the way to Indonesia, and now across Africa. My goal through Workaway is to experience new cultures, learn practical skills, and connect with people from all walks of life.

I’ve come to realize that there’s more than one way to live and to be successful. After I began traveling, the novelty of sightseeing quickly wore off, and I wanted to experience something more meaningful. Volunteering in Southeast Asia opened up that world for me. It gave me a deeper connection to the communities I was staying in, from helping with everyday tasks to supporting small projects, and it made me feel like I was giving back rather than just passing through.

One of the experiences I’m most proud of was helping raise funds for a local Gambian woman who opened her home to a young traveler from the Czech Republic stranded without money or a passport. Being able to contribute to moments like that reminds me why I love traveling this way: it’s about people, connection, and sharing.

Now, I can’t imagine traveling any other way. I love to give back as much as, if not more than, I receive, and I’m excited to share new experiences together.

I hope we’ll get the chance to work together soon!

Most recently I have volunteered in many hostels & homestays. Anywhere from reception work to managing the hostel, socializing with guests, planning events & activities, and creating atmosphere.

Here are some of my favorite experiences so far:

Thailand: I worked closely with many hostels in Thailand planning events, pub crawls, and tours with the guests. It was such a blast learning the local culture and living the Thai lifestyle.

Cambodia: On an island Eco-Resort I worked in the restaurant and beach bar, as well as assisting in the daily operations. The laid-back island lifestyle wasn't hard to get into at all!

Vietnam: I spent a few weeks in a small village teaching English to young children, I found it to be incredibly rewarding.

Montenegro: I worked with a family-run hostel, entertaining the guests and planning events. Daily boat trips around the Adriatic coast! They were voted the best hostel in the country for 2018!

Myanmar: By far one of my most amazing experiences, I led motorbike/e-bike tours for sunrises and sunsets, as well as organized sunset boat trips. Leading large groups of 20-30 people we had a blast and ended the month with wonderful reviews from the guests.

I'm traveling with my drone, so I hope we can make some interesting photos or videos of your project!

I've gained so many wonderful experiences and learned new skills while volunteering, but I am eager to continue learning more!

Algo mais...

I know many people use WorkAway to save money or extend their travels, which I greatly appreciate the opportunity. My main goal, however, is experiences and friendships! I like to make a local connection and leave my mark everywhere I visit.

So if we work together, I hope we can make real friendships and learn from each other, more than just a job!

I am very eager to gain some new experiences and learn about local cultures.
I'm also especially happy to try new foods and diets!
