Description
Hi all! My name is Tabyr! I grew up in rural Maine, where I spent my time outdoors in all seasons. Gardening, hiking, kayaking, and swimming were among some of my favorite activities (and still are)!
That love for exploring was surely nurtured. Now into my early adult life I've had the pleasure to live in 4 different countries across 4 continents, with many mini trips to other beautiful countries sprinkled in. I've studied music at the professional level and continue to keep it close to my heart. I have experience working in basic construction and permaculture, as well as with non-profit organizations. I taught yoga and anatomy full time at a Yoga Teacher Training School in Rishikesh, India for multiple years. I've lived with an indigenous tribe in the rural Peruvian jungle. Now I live in New York City where I study business and work in Fashion. I'm always learning and trying new things!
I found a passion for culture and world travel from a very young age, so now that I am able to travel freely, I am taking full advantage of the amazing opportunities that WorkAway offers! It is important to me that my time traveling is spent learning and nurturing my intense curiosity! Learning about your land and culture, as well as any special skills that you can teach me, is what I would cherish in a workaway experience. I never shy away from learning something new, in fact, I embrace it fully! I truly believe that lifelong learning is the key to being a successful, happy member of society. For me, I’ve always found success in hands-on learning, through people and experiences, even if I wasn't always the best at the task at hand. You can’t grow if you don’t plant the seeds and water them!

More details about your skills
I’ve studied music and art my whole life and professionally for about two years, so creativity is something that shines through in all of my work. I spent a total of five years doing weekly volunteer work at local hospitals and veterans homes, where I would provide therapeutic music workshops and performances for people of all ages. Working with people from all walks of life is something I find great fulfillment in! I love spending time outside working with plants and animals. I also enjoy growing my own food when the season permits! Getting my hands dirty excites me, and I love finding and creating new ways to accomplish a job! Spending time with children is also a favorite pastime of mine, as they tend to be full of life!

What else ...
Aside from being creative, I also enjoy being active! Playing sports, biking, hiking, and exploring are all activities that I love. I am currently working to become a certified yoga teacher, as well as a certified personal trainer and nutrition coach. I also enjoy cooking and would love to learn some new recipes from different parts of the world!
