Description
Vegan chef, educator, fitness coach and yoga teacher trying to see the world and experience cultural exchange with locals. Immigrated to Germany then to Portugal which I now call home for the last 3.5 years.

I work in marketing now and can help with social media, email marketing, taking photos and can help with general computer stuff and blog writing (please see my website at www.blissfulandfit.com).

I'm very interested in spending time with locals and seeing their country/city through their eyes. I used to be a couchsurfer and there's something so special about spending time with other cultures.

I've been tantalizing my taste buds for years with the business I started in 2006. First a private chef for celebrities in Los Angeles, then moving to public cooking classes. I've been practicing yoga on and off since 1998, and I've been working on all types of post-30 fitness, which led to competing in 2 triathlons, a bodybuilding show, getting my NASM personal trainer certification in 2014 and yoga teacher certification in 2015.

Testimonial from two week work exchange in Canggu, Bali:
"Pelan Pelan Bali for 2 weeks." She was looking for a great teacher and very approachable and knowledgeable so for the more advanced yogis Christy gives many options for every lesson in her lessons, for me it was so great to practice some more advanced poses with her before about yoga! I highly recommend her. "

Christy is a vegan chef and social media marketing expert who shared her know-how with professionalism and a smile. A joy to have around, she was sunny, hard-working and discreet.

It was like Angela and I had already known each other for years! She is so kind and full of energy, it was my pleasure to stay with her for 10 days to help her with social media, blog writing, and getting her email system all set up. She's a great cook too, but I really enjoyed cooking for us and showing off my vegan cooking skills :) I made a… read more

This was my first official Workaway experience and it was amazing. The castle and property are gorgeous, the food ample and they were able to accommodate my vegan diet. Every morning I would go on a walk and was greeted by beautiful fields of sunflower. It was magical. The other volunteers were super cool and all interesting to talk to and the… read more
