Description
Hey there,

I´m Miska. I´m friendly, open-minded and hard-working and I love backpacking, learning new things and seeing alternative (and more sustainable) ways of life. I am a vegan food enthusiast, started exploring yoga and meditation a few months back and love experimenting with DIY cosmetics and such. I love English (and teaching it), nature and animals. I would love to learn more about sustainable gardening as well. In my free time, I like to hike, do yoga, meditate and read.

See you soon,
Your new workaway buddy Miska

I have experience teaching English at a language school (groups, conversations, individual lessons), I have volunteered teaching English in Vietnam, Thailand and I have a TEFL certificate. But what is more important is this -- I love English and I want to help others to see how much fun it can be to learn it :)

I spent three weeks at the kindergarten. The kids are very sweet and friendly, it did not take much time for them to warm up to me and want me to play with them. I was time and again impressed by how independent and well-behaved they are at such a young age and how organized the whole kindergarten is! Some of the kids speak English very well and… read more

Nancy is such a hard working, energetic and generous person! My two weeks with her flew by too quickly, so I decided to stay for one more week, that's how good it was!

She is a great host, I felt like the part of the family and community since day one. Her husband is an amazing cook and he would always prepare such delicious lunches and dinners… read more

Miska is an amazing human being, always smiling and bringing sunshine everywhere she appears. She has a huge heart and is very down to earth, which makes her a great conversationalist. I remember spending the whole night talking to her on the very first day she came. The talk just went so easy we didn't realize the time at all and suddenly our… read more

I have spent a month at the place and it went by too quickly!

The farm is simply amazing. There are lots of hens, horses, cows, ponies, pigs, ducks, sheep, goats, donkeys, kitties and doggies who get to live their happy life in here thanks to Emanuel. It is not unusual to open your door and see Ferdinand the pig taking a nap in the puddle snoring… read more

I had such an amazing time in the beach hostel!

It was my first time in Asia, and Dinesh and Rodney (manager) made me feel at home straight away.
