Travel information

I am currently

Activities i am interested in:

I absolutely love hiking/exploring the mountains & forests. I'm into foraging & gardening - anything plant/nature orientated. I love to rollerskate & I'm a keen skier and snowboarder in the winter.

Description

I'm a really outdoorsy person who loves exploring the mountains and forests where I live in the French Alps. I forage and grow a lot of my own food and I love making soaps and skincare products using plants I forage - basically I'm your friendly neighbourhood witch ;)

Nothing makes me happier than being outside all day, whether it's hiking, climbing, skiing, rollerskating, foraging, snowboarding, gardening, camping, or chilling by the lake.

I'm super creative and love picking up new hobbies and skills. I'm also a very keen cook and have been teaching my friends how to make healthy, but affordable meals over the last few months.

I have previously worked as an outdoor education assistant instructor, soap maker, National Trust land management, selling vintage ski clothes, and am now a Virtual Assistant for a health & wellbeing company, working digitally which gives me the freedom to travel - yay!

When at home, I volunteer at a permaculture farm in my local town and help with the gardens, animals and whatever else needs doing around the farm.

I'm a very adaptable person, so can handle most things thrown at me. I'm not afraid to get stuck in with whatever needs doing and I love finding creative solutions to problems.

What else ...

I work as a Virtual Assistant and as much as I love disconnecting from the online world, I need good internet access for my work!

I am working part time 15-20hrs / week, so it shouldn't get in the way of my ability to help out at Workaways.
