My next destination:
Albania - from May 2024 until May 2024 View allDescription
I grew up in Washington state in the US, where hiking and being in nature was a big part of my upbringing. After completing my bachelor's degree in the US, I moved to Amsterdam and finished a semester-long bioinformatics premaster program. Now I have a half year off from school until the start of my masters in September. My hope is to use the time to continue learning in an environment outside the lab and classroom.
I have experience working and volunteering at a summer camp on Orcas Island in Washington. I worked multiple positions there, including cabin counselor, health aid, and trip coordinator. We also did service projects cleaning up gardens and farms on the island, so I know how to work as a team and I am not afraid to get my hands dirty!
Besides working at camp, I have also worked as a waitress in a retirement home and as a researcher in a biology lab, among some other food service, delivery, and retail jobs.
From my varied experiences, I learned how to communicate and connect with a wide range of people, from young to old and everything in between. My time in the lab, as a health aid, and as a trip coordinator also refined my abilities to organize and pay close attention to detail.
I look forward to putting my skills to use, as well as learning new ones :)Interests

The finca is set in a scenic location with supermarket, cafes, and bus stop within walking distance. I enjoyed the mountain views, sheep, and, since I was there in February, almond blossoms. If you know… read more
