Hi, I’m Tia. I’m a creative, thoughtful traveler currently in Vietnam, moving slowly and intentionally through Southeast Asia. I’ve been actively applying for volunteer exchanges (through Worldpackers and similar platforms) in Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Due to seasonal holidays, full placements, and timing constraints, I’ve hit a temporary standstill — not from lack of effort, but from circumstances. At the same time, I’ve been selling handmade crochet pieces to support myself, but things have been very quiet lately. I’m sharing this because I’m at a short-term crossroads. Any support would go directly toward basic travel needs (transport and visa fees) so I can reach my next volunteer placement and continue offering my skills in exchange-based work. Skills I offer include creative handmade work, housekeeping and organization, pet care, kitchen help, and calm, reliable support in community spaces. If you feel called to help, I’m deeply grateful. If not, thank you for reading and for witnessing this moment honestly.
