Description

Hello :) I'm Kina, 31yo, currently travelling and looking for my next workaway experience in Italy from october 2025.
I started workaway in 2022 when I spent 6 months in England and Scotland, I had such good experiences that I decided to make it my main way of travelling.

Travelling has been a big part of my life since I turned 19 and went for a year volunteer experience in England. After that year I realized I didn't want to stay in my home country doing what everyone else my age was doing and, since then, I’m always making plans for new experiences abroad – I’ve also worked on a cruise ship between Alaska and Canada and was an AuPair in Massachusetts US for 2.5 years. I have a degree in Linguistics and hold a TEFL certification.

I believe myself to be a pretty self sufficient, reliable and proactive person. I'm outgoing and social but I also like some private space and alone time. Going on hikes, exploring villages, cities and historical places, cooking/eating, and chillin with a book or movie are things I love doing. I'm very open minded and curious and respect all peoples and cultures the same way I like to be respected :)
