Hola
Soy Maddy, de Melbourne, Australia y en este momento estoy viajando Suramerica. Estoy buscando una nueva experiencia de voluntariado, donde pueda ensuciarme las manos, practicar mi español y conocer gente nueva y aprender sobre su cultura y forma de vida. Todavía soy nuevo en español! lo siento pero tengo muchas ganas de aprender.
I have been travelling and living in new places for the past 4.5 years. Travelling to me is my current purpose in life, i cant imagine doing anything else. During this time I have worked as a Youth Worker in the Northern Territory of Australia, an English Teacher to kids in Vietnam and Portugal and various hospitality roles along the way. I have volunteered in many places doing lots of different things, from hostel work to farm work to teaching English in a refugee camp to working with an environmental NGO. I absolutely love new experiences, getting out of my comfort zone and adapting to new situations. I love the travel life, experiencing new cultures, making new friends and learning new skills. I believe workaways are the best way to get to experience a place and it's people. I am currently on a mission of self growth and I am trying to expand my knowledge and am on a healing journey.
This is my first time in the America's!
I am so excited to be here and explore. I am currently learning Spanish and would love to do a language exchange - it would mean the world to me if I could find a place that could help me learn! And of course am happy to exchange with English if you like too :)
At this point in time I am looking to get my hands dirty with some gardening/permaculture/sustainable farming ncluding building and eco-construction. I love getting involved in a task and have been up for new challenges in past workaway experiences. Nature is an incredibly important part of my life and I would like to learn more about how to be sustainable and live off the land. Im super keen to learn about permaculture! Time and time again i find myself in these surroundings and i think it's time to learn more! I am a great cook and baker, feeding others gives me a lot of joy. I love to hike, swim, read and do yoga. I have recently started to learn how to surf and would love to learn salsa and hula hooping. I am looking to try new things! Up for challenges and ready to push myself.
I am basically just a friendly vegan who loves to meet new people and enjoy new experiences so I can continue to evolve as a person.
I love to laugh but also know the merit in hard work - I look forward to hearing from you!Interests
