Description
Hello! I am a 23y/o Canadian who just finished her bachelor's degree in psychology and is taking time off before grad school! I love being in nature, meeting new people, trying new things and learning new skills!
During my time in New Zealand I hope to learn about the culture, experience farm life (which I have been doing a fair bit of), meet new people, spend as much time embracing nature as I can, and experience lifestyles that are different than the one I've been exposed to back home. I'm very adventurous and open to experiences and I can't wait to see what the next few months will bring:)

More details about your skills
Education wise, I have a bachelor's degree in psychology with lots of volunteering experience both in clinical settings and in research laboratories. I also have experience hostessing and bartending, as well as lots of experience working with kids! Recently I've also stayed at a couple farms where I rode horses, milked a cow, fed calves... Outside of work/volunteering experience I love to dance, ski, cycle, hike, read, practice yoga and play board games!
