Hey! I'm Jay, 27 years old, currently travelling. I am a native English speaker and am currently working my way towards Spanish fluency one day! I'm also an EFL teacher, having taught online and in schools in Spain and Colombia, so I'm on the lookout for paid positions as well as volunteering!
In my spare time I'm an aspiring musician, songwriter, author, farmer... I love to meet people, create things and contribute labour to a good cause.
One of the things I'm most interested in is how writing and language are informed and in dialogue with landscape: it's a quest of mine to track every place I go through the langauge that naturally arises in me and the others I am around. I would love to meet someone interested in these themes too :)
Workaway has been an amazing experience for me since my first host in October 2018. I have learnt tons about myself and others as well as taking care of large groups of farm animals, tending the land and cooking! My skills cover these areas, plus some household duties (cleaning tidying office work) but I'm always happy to learn new things and compliment my hosts.
As a musician and songwriter (Piano/Guitar/Voice) I can offer a wealth of music tuition as well as English language help. I have been playing for 11 years now and am well versed in music theory, just about most genres and styles of music as well as how to improve confidence and self-learning techniques. If you love music as much as I do we'll get on well ;)
I am a vegetarian, happy to eat vegan too, and I love to cook and experiment in the kitchen. Most of my experiments turn out pretty well at least!
