Travel information

I am currently

Description

I completed a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail in 2019; walking from Georgia to Maine (2,200 miles/3540 kms) in a six-month period. Having carried all my belongings on my back. It's hard to put into words how much that experience alone taught me. It has definitely changed my outlook on life.

I'm currently in Thailand and have been here since April 2022. I came over from Australia with my bicycle and did a tour of the south and then a bit of the north. Now I’m looking to settle somewhere for a little bit to fully immerse in the culture as well as learn more of the language.

I have plenty of work experience in both medical and hospitality fields. I’ve worked 10+ years in the pharmacy industry and 10+ years combined in retail/hospitality/customer service industries.

My philosophy on life: it’s one big lesson and everyone you meet is a teacher.

More details about your skills

I’ve worked in a acute care pharmacy setting for the past seven years. So needless to say, it’s a fast paced, ever changing atmosphere. I have the ability to adapt very quickly and work under a lot of stress without it hindering my quality of work.

I also spent a good portion of my early teens doing a lot of babysitting and have great references.

I’m highly motivated, inquisitive, easy-going, adaptive and very compassionate. I also know how to prioritize workflow in terms of urgency. And I pride myself on being organized and pay very close attention to detail.
