Beschreibung

Greetings. Nowadays I spend my summers in Yosemite National Park in California as a cook for backcountry trail crews. During the winters I try to travel. The last time I went abroad was in 2019 when I went to Europe. I'm excited to return to traveling outside of the U.S. this winter. My hobbies include: hiking, cooking (of course), cycling, practicing drawing (I'm beginning to learn), and learning new languages. I've worked as a volunteer guest in Nepal, France, and at a Buddhist meditation retreat center in Northern California. During my travels, I've enjoyed meeting new people and learning about their culture. Volunteering has helped me form experiences I wouldn't have access to as a normal tourist.

Projects included: brushing, rock work, invasive species management, buck and rail fence construction, hitch post construction. I volunteered at a Buddhist meditation retreat center in Norther California. There, I preformed ground maintenance, worked with a wood chipper, leaf blower, weed whacker, lawn mower, gardening tools.

Cooking: Since 2019, I have been working during the summers as a cook for backcountry trail crews in National Parks in California. I cook for 20 to 16 people in a remote location with a primitive kitchen. I've learned how to set up backcountry kitchens, basic water irrigation, rustic carpentry skills, chopping fire wood, kitchen appliance maintenance, meal planning and budgeting, backcountry traveling and hiking, non-violent communication skills, wilderness ethics and Leave No Trace practices.

Tutoring and Child Care: I have a toddler aged nephew I frequently baby-sit. Previously, I have worked as a swim instructor for children ages 4 to 16. I volunteered as an English and Math tutor to teenagers in Nepal. I am a native English speaker and have a Bachelors of Science in Mathematics.
