Description
hello! I’m a 23 year old woman who’s spent the last 5 years living and traveling in British Columbia, Canada. I’ve spent this time visiting beautiful landscapes and working jobs in resorts and lodges that are nestled into remote areas of the province.
I greatly enjoy hiking (I recently completed the West Coast Trail! 😃), visiting coffee shops, gardening, stargazing and birdwatching, beach days, foraging for edibles in the woods, and creating arts & crafts. I’m adventurous and curious yet maintain a grounded personality, one of my favourite things about the last few years has been all the quality time I’ve spent with the good people I’ve met.
I’m just about to begin a backpacking trip starting in Belize and then making my way over to Antigua Guatemala where I’ll be attending a Spanish immersion school for 4 weeks. I’ve been learning Spanish for a little over 4 months and I’m very excited for this adventure!
I plan to return to Canada for the holidays and then would love to participate in a work away here in Canada starting in January up until February 20th.

More details about your skills
Gardening => growing up in rural Alberta Canada my mom always kept a greenhouse full of tomatoes and a large veggie garden. I was always by her side helping with the weeding, watering, transplanting seedlings, harvesting and on occasion helping to preserve the harvest by canning and drying.
Landscaping => Basic knowledge of trimming shrubs/trees, edging, mowing the lawn, clearing deadfall, and planting. These skills were acquired both informally with friends and family and while working as a housekeeper at Blind Channel resort, BC Canada .
Housekeeping & Laundry => I have 4 years of cleaning experience after working in various housekeeping and housekeeping supervisor rolls at resorts, hotels and luxury lodges throughout BC Canada.
Reception => I have 4 months experience as a front desk agent in Central BC Canada where I checked in guests, handled credit card and cash transactions, explained procedures and promotions, and answered guest inquiries.
Childcare => As the oldest of 4 siblings, 2 of which are 13 years my junior, I grew up babysitting often and am no stranger to being around children. I’m very patient and kind, and always enjoyed reading, going for nature walks, cooking and baking, and getting creative with my little brothers and sister.
Cooking & baking => I love to cook and bake, especially when I get to share what I’ve made with other people! Some of my favourite baked goods to make are cookies, brownies, pies, banana bread, coffee cake, and pull-apart herb bread. For meals I love to make soups and stews such as beef, broccoli cheddar, lentil, sausage tortellini, and chilli. Pasta is a favourite as well, carbonara and pesto in particular. Other dishes I commonly make include shakshuka, schnitzel, chicken tinga, chickpea curry, hummus and pita, and various other dishes. Most commonly I don’t cook with meat but I’m not against it. I’m always keeping an eye out for fun new kinds of food to make!
