My next destination:
Vancouver, Canada - from Mar 2023 until Mar 2025 View allDescription
I am travelling Canada on a working holiday VISA for 2 years having just finished my degree alongside work. With my new freedom I’m hoping to gain some new experiences, explore new places, and connect with new people.
I am quiet and easygoing person, happiest in nature and I adore animals (especially dogs). I love hiking and have done some kayaking but I am hoping to do some more. I am keen to learn on a job to help out, and have been told I have a keen eye for detail. I look forward to making new friendships as I explore the beautiful country of Canada.
Hoping to gain more experience working with animals as this is a huge passion of mine. I am also interested in learning about organic farming, an interest that I have gained through previous workaways.

Amy was the perfect buddy for our puppy, and all of us, both human and canine alike, hope that Amy comes back and keeps telling those terrible terrible jokes. :-)
