Description
I started backpacking around the world in 2013. I spent a lot of time in Latin America, 1 year in Australia and a year and a half in south east Asia. I have been sedentary since the end of 2019 and it is high time to get back on the road!
(I took a course to become a Home Organiser in 2021 - think Marie Kondo or The Home Edit on Netflix - and I would be happy to share my knowledge in decluttering and space optimisation if it is of interest)
My dream is to live close to nature, surrounded by animals, growing my own food. Growing up as a city girl, I still have a lot to learn to make that dream come true, and that is why I am doing this.
Below is some information about the workaways/ volunteering/ jobs I’ve held along the way:
Animal sanctuary in Bolivia (2014): preparing food for the animals (spider monkeys and coatis) and cleaning their environments.
Horse ranch in Argentina (2014) : a lot of cleaning involved, looking after animals, riding horses and welcoming tourists.
Hostel in Santiago de Chile (2014): reception
Hostel in Playa del Carmen, Mexico (2015): organising and executing activities to get the guests involved and create a fun environment.
Hostel in Perth and Motel in Alice Springs (2016): reception
Hostel in Cambodia (2017): reception/bar
I’ve also acquired some gardening experience working on a couple of vineyards in Argentina and Chile, did some painting and cleaning on a coffee farm in Colombia, some planting on a mango farm in Australia. I also worked in a book shop and in a bar in Cambodia.Interests
