Description

Hi! I'm Eleanor, from the UK. In Canada on a 2 year working holiday visa.
I LOVE hiking, sea swimming, running and cooking (I am a pescitarian so eat veggie + fish!). I am a fairly quiet person and have come to Canada to experience the outdoors first and foremost. But I love getting to know people, sharing experiences and a drink or dinner around the table.
After having jobs in London, in Public Health and in Coaching, I am looking to learn more about how to live in harmony with the planet and our bodies. And to meet people who have the same priorities. As a Nutritionist, I have seen the impact of processed diets and sedentary lifestyles. I would to learn more about producing wholesome food naturally and how to have a better balance in life that I can take with my in whatever I do next.

More details about your skills

I am a dedicated worker and make sure that all the tasks I am assigned are completed well, and I ask any question that I have to make sure! I have 6 years experience in a range of roles: health coach, trained Nutritionist, Sales Agent, Sustainability Advisor etc so have a few skills to bring.
I am a natural problem solver and also adaptable so I hope that helps in many situations on a Work Away - flexible to tackle whatever happens.
I have found that my human skills are often more important in working on any project (communication, patience, organisation) and I have worked hard to develop these over the years. But I would say that I definitely am keen to keep learning first as there is so much I won't know if any new Work Away situation!

What else ...

I have been living and working in Banff for the last couple of months but after the fast-paced tourism industry, I am yearning to experience what it is like to live off the land of beautiful Canada in a more a more sustaniable way. And to get to know more local people and see what real life is like in Canada!
I am solo travelling so happy to occupy myself but would also be keen to integrate into another community. I enjoy being outdoors as much as possible but also enjoy a silly tv series, a good film, a (somewhat competitive!) boardgame or just a glass of wine or cider over a chat.
