Description
A little bit about ourselves - We are avid hikers. Last year we hiked the state of California on the Pacific crest trail (missing some sections due to fires) and we absolutely love meeting new people. We met on maui , doing work trade, and have decided that we enjoy the excitement of new places and new faces. We are planning to be in Denali, Alaska working for the national park coming up the first week of May 2022. What motivates us is to apply to new places and continue this life is that all of our experiences thus far have been very positive and uplifting to our spirits. We want to continue to grow our network of like minded people. Another motivation is we need a place to stay right now, we are hard workers, and our work trade is ending here in Maui. Overall what we think brings us happiness is to continue to the goal of hiking as much as possible. And right now we are in transition to being where we really want to be. And our true happiness right now rely's on us having a safe place until May first. And we are both avid workers, and being safe is a true happiness.

More details about your skills
Shep - I have traveled and worked since I graduated high school and went to college. I have a bachelor's degree in communications. And after college, instead of pursing a career in my studies, I realized all I wanted to do was travel.
I have over 10 years experience doing all types of trades - landscaping, carpentry, painting, roofing, plumbing. I also have much restaurant experience cooking and serving tables. I have worked for Shenandoah national park in Virginia at a resort called Big Meadows for two seasons. During those two seasons I was a Line Cook, Server, Maintenance, grounds crew (landscaping) , housekeeping, and Laundry.
I also have good positive work energy. I really enjoy being around other like minded people and meeting new people each day.
Addy - I have lots of experience in child care. I worked as a camp counselor for 4 years for an adventure field trip summer camp in Chicago. As well as many years babysitting and nannying for kids from infancy to young teenagers. I also have experience working as a housekeeper and cleaner. I currently work for an independent cleaning business and clean vacation homes in Maui. I also have experience working at a hotel in Hana, Maui and was in charge of seven rooms and bathrooms. Also during my time in Maui I did work trade a flower farm and learned how to make tropical bouquets to sell for the farm.
