  • Description

    Last year I decided to leave my job to live my dream of traveling! This year, I'm traveling throughout Europe via Workaway. I chose Workaway because it is an affordable way to travel, I want to travel slowly, and I want to get to know and live as locals do. My purpose in traveling is to experience different parts of the world as well as different natural environments, cultures, and lifestyles. I also want to build new relationships, discover more about myself, and live life passionately and joyfully!

    I am a nature-lover and want to spend time in nature throughout Europe. But I also love people, and want to be a part of the family/community that I am with and immerse myself in their way of life and the local culture. I would also like to meet other Workawayers and make friends. All in all, I would like a balance between living like a local and exploring the places around me as a responsible, ethical tourist.

    I primarily enjoy homestays, but am open to community living and housesitting.

    I would be more than happy to teach English! I would like to re-learn Spanish (I took 2 years of Spanish in high school but have lost a lot of it). I would also enjoy learning other languages.

  • What else ...

    My outdoor hobbies include mushroom foraging (I have a certification in wild mushroom safety), walking, swimming, hiking, camping, and going to the beach. I enjoy journaling and reading- fantasy is my favorite genre (Harry Potter fan)! I am a spiritual person and practice meditation and some yoga, and have interests in dreamwork, breathwork, and family constellations. I am active- I jog, work out, and play volleyball. I enjoy playing cards, chess, and board games. I love to travel- I have traveled to Ireland, the UK, Italy, Costa Rica, Thailand, Japan, and many places in the U.S.

    I am an introvert and need alone time to recharge, but I enjoy being around people and around life in general. One of my favorite things to do is go to a cafe in town with my book to just sit and be around the buzz of life! I like talking with people about their experiences in life, spirituality, nature, and travel, among other things! Communication and authenticity are important to me- I am a good listener and communicator, and my strengths are empathy and peacemaking.
