Description
Hiii everyone!
I'm a really passionate person. I love making new friends, experiencing diverse cultures, sharing stories, and creating memories to hold dear within my heart. I'm excited to immerse myself into your lifestyle, get to know you and learn from you. I hope to offer my laughs and experiences in return. I am self-reliant, honest and independent with a love and wonder of life. To me, living is experiencing. I actively work to better myself every day and to connect with the world on a deeper, more human level.
I am flexible, adaptable and happy to help however I can, with whatever is needed!
Thanking you in advance. 😊

What else ...
Note: I am a Canadian & European Citizen, fully vaccinated :)
I travelled with Workaway for a year and a half in past, and it was never a dull moment. Most likely, the longest year and a half... ever! I volunteered with various projects including: renovations (building a chicken coop, painting, installations of furniture etc.), landscaping work (masonry projects, gardening, seeding, etc.), villa airbnb relations, teaching English, sculpting apprenticeships, cooking baking experimentation... and the learning is endless!
Currently: there is the possibility to add my partner to the workaway project as it suits! We can discuss it :)
