Hi there! I left my job in Vancouver BC, so I can travel Latin America. I’m adventurous, easy going and I love meeting new people. In my spare time you can find me outdoors near the ocean or in the mountains. I have experience working in childcare, retail and the restaurant industry. Can't wait to connect with likeminded people :)

More details about your skills
My last work position, I was working in the school system with young kids with learning and behaviour challenges. Being adaptable, flexible and having a strong understanding of the English vocabulary are assets attained while working with the children.
I also have a background working as a supervisor, in customer service for seven years. I oversaw training, till cash out and merchandising. When I worked in a restaurant, I was a short order cook. Food prep, time management, supply ordering and clean up were daily tasks. Technology is another area I’m proficient at. I'm also passionate about animals and photography. Throughout my trip, I've done volunteer work at a hostel bar; cleaning and making beds at a lodge, and reception at a hostel. I would love to gain more bar, hospitality, technology, boat, working with children, wildlife and/or farming experience.

I loved my stay here, even though it was short! we got to make walls of mud for a bathroom, did some gardening and collecting fruits that had been harvested.

Over the last month, I had an amazing time working here! During my month, I was doing reception. There was a lot of down time because it was low season (winter). Side note - I love their concept of guests are family too. Being a social hostel, it was so easy to make connections and meet people to hangout with. The hostel was so welcoming when I… read more

I originally came here as a guest, but I loved it so much I decided to volunteer. The staff was so welcoming and created a great atmosphere. The accommodations could have been better for the volunteers, one of the rooms had black mold. So many great memories and connections, I will definitely come back!! Thank you!
