  • Description

    Hey I'm Elena :)

    I am a 25 year old Zoology graduate who's been living in Canada the past 2 years and now would love to explore Central and South America!

    I've done a variety of jobs in Canada including volunteering in a wildlife rehabilitation centre, my own cleaning business and bartending at a snowmobile resort. Now I would love to connect with people from all over and experience different types of work. I love working outside, learning new skills, being creative and I'm not shy to long hours, hard work and manual labour.

    Some of the things that bring me happiness is spending time outdoors in nature, hikes, sunsets, swimming in the ocean, reading, yoga and meeting new people from around the world. I'd love to put my energy into helping anyone with a creative project.


    Hello my name is Thomas (but I prefer Tommy)

    Ive been working in Australia, Canada and Vietnam as a Carpenter for the past 7 years, I'm fully certified and would love to help you with any building projects! Also happy to teach anyone that would be interested in learning basic construction skills.

    In my spare time i enjoy snowboarding, camping, surfing, climbing and cooking. I love to cook delicious meals for people to taste aswell it brings me joy.

    I would love to learn more about construction in different parts of the work, sustainable living methods, different cultures and also more on how to grow foods to eat in your garden.
