Description

Hi!! I am a 25 year old Canadian who really loves workaway :) I graduated university in May 2022 after studying health sciences and have been travelling since then. I’ve been to 23 countries since I started almost 2 years ago! Most of my time has been in Europe, but I also travelled through Southeast Asia and New Zealand for a few months.

I’ve used workaway a few times as well as other work exchange sites and finding work in person when I arrive somewhere. I have worked on farms, wineries, hostels, restaurants, construction projects, and with animals. The time I have spent working on farms as part of a family or in community has been by far the most meaningful part of my travels. I have learned a lot of resourcefulness, initiative, flexibility, and DIY skills.

In my free time, I write, meditate, have very enthusiastic dance parties, go out into nature, and enjoy having a good conversation and real connection, even if there is a language barrier. It is important to me to live life sustainably and in close relationship with nature, and I value learning about how other people manage to achieve this.

More details about your skills

I am social, curious, and open to anything. I value trying new things and picking up new skills across diverse work experience. In Canada, I have worked in hospitality, healthcare, academic research, teaching, construction, and in social work settings. Internationally I have mostly worked in hostels, restaurants, and on farms, and have experience with small scale vegetable production as well as with sheep, cows, goats, pigs, and chickens. I also spent a month in Estonia working with adults with special needs, can cook for big groups, and have lots of childcare experience.
