Travelling
Activities i am interested in:
Been living on the road for 3 years, collecting experiences along the way! What's the next project?
Description
Latest 2024: Traveling through South America! It's been awhile since I was active on WorkAway and I hope to connect with you soon!
I grew up in the US, but now I'm based in Cyprus, though I can't call it home since I mostly live on the road traveling! My goal with WorkAway is to experience many different cultures and gain experience in other areas.
I'm interested in opening a hostel in Europe, during the last few years I have spent a lot of time volunteering and working with hostels to learn and share experiences. I take every experience on as if it were my own business, so I approach my stay with great passion and responsibility!
I’ve come to learn, there is more than one way to live and be successful in our lives. Shortly after I began traveling the novelty of traveling for the sake of it wore off and I wanted to experience something more productive. I began to volunteer in a variety of fields while I was in Southeast Asia, it gave me a deeper connection to the places I was visiting rather than being a tourist passing by.
Now I can't imagine any other style of travel!
I hope to work with you soon!Interests

Most recently I have volunteered in many hostels & homestays. Anywhere from reception work to managing the hostel, socializing with guests, planning events & activities, and creating atmosphere.
Here are some of my favorite experiences so far:
Thailand: I worked closely with many hostels in Thailand planning events, pub crawls, and tours with the guests. It was such a blast learning the local culture and living the Thai lifestyle.
Cambodia: On an island Eco-Resort I worked in the restaurant and beach bar, as well as assisting in the daily operations. The laid-back island lifestyle wasn't hard to get into at all!
Vietnam: I spent a few weeks in a small village teaching English to young children, I found it to be incredibly rewarding.
Montenegro: I worked with a family-run hostel, entertaining the guests and planning events. Daily boat trips around the Adriatic coast! They were voted the best hostel in the country for 2018!
Myanmar: By far one of my most amazing experiences, I led motorbike/e-bike tours for sunrises and sunsets, as well as organized sunset boat trips. Leading large groups of 20-30 people we had a blast and ended the month with wonderful reviews from the guests.
I'm traveling with my drone, so I hope we can make some interesting photos or videos of your project!
I've gained so many wonderful experiences and learned new skills while volunteering, but I am eager to continue learning more!Age

What else ...
I know many people use WorkAway to save money or extend their travels, which I greatly appreciate the opportunity. My main goal, however, is experiences and friendships! I like to make a local connection and leave my mark everywhere I visit.
So if we work together, I hope we can make real friendships and learn from each other, more than just a job!
I am very eager to gain some new experiences and learn about local cultures.
I'm also especially happy to try new foods and diets!Some more information
