Member since 2018
In September 2018, I decided to live with only what I can fit into a 40 L backpack. Since then, I have been eating, climbing and kite surfing through the northern and southern hemisphere, with help from amazing families and hosts I have met along the way. I'm new to CS, but have been doing Workaway as a volunteer for more than a year. I've worked with hostels, travel agencies, restaurants, on farms and with families in South America and in Spain. I've loved my volunteer experiences and am excited to meet the CS community! I like to be super active so anything that includes hiking through forests, jumping into bodies of water, playing volleyball, or even walking hours exploring a city - I'm in! On the flip side, I love to sit and eat and chat and make homemade bread so honestly, whatever suggestions you've got, I'll probably be down. Unless it involves a hangover the next day... and even then just keep me hydrated.

Music, Movies, and Books
Music: - Whatever genres Buena Vista Social Club, Amy Winehouse, Queen, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Miguel, The Gypsy Kings, SZA, Kygo, and Hozier encompass - that's what I like. Plus jazz! Movies: - Ratatoullie Books: - In the past year, I've read half of each Como Agua Para Chocolate, El Alquimista, Big Little Lies, and The Handmaid's Tale. I love reading but I also love doing things more so...
One Amazing Thing I've Done
The most amazing thing I have done was leave an unfulfilling job to: Cook for a vegan family while camping on their organic vineyard Work alongside strong women in a female-owned restaurant in Chile Build a house of renewable materials for a family in Argentina Climb volcanoes in Ecuador Learn to kite surf in Colombia Design murals for hostels Taste real olive oil in Spain And live with more freedom than I did in an office!
