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.
