Description
👋 Hi! My name is Gina, and Im a social worker currently working in refugee resettlement in the US (Kentucky to be exact!). Im putting my career and love for social services on hold for now, to finally do some long term traveling, starting mid August 2023. I am excited for the opportunity to learn from others, wind down, experience culture and nature, cook, eat, and be merry!

I am a hard worker and very quick learner. I would love to help you with your permaculture, building, gardening, or painting projects! I am experienced in kitchens and happy to cook, it brings me joy to share food with others! I love kids and am experienced providing childcare to children of all ages. I am creative, and a natural leader/self starter.

I hope we can meet one day! Cheers 😊
