Description

Hi all!

I'm Jemmalina from Australia currently living in and travelling around Canada on a working holiday visa.
I have just finished up a ski season and am excited about travelling around and learning more about the beautiful nature of Canada.

My previous experiences involve travelling (backpacking and camping mainly) throughout Australia, Europe and Asia. I have spent time working on gardens, orchards, vineyards, sustainable and conservation projects.

I love hiking, slow travelling, yoga, cooking, and the natural world (especially the water!). I am a relaxed, compassionate, and reliable, and deeply interested in people and new experiences

I grew up on a small sustainable community on the coast of South Western Australia. We often hosted international travellers through site like workaway. This was such a positive experience in my life and I love now being a workaway-er myself! My upbringing also gave me a deep appreciation of different cultures and travel, nature and conservations, and sustainable and communal living.

I am looking for adventures and the chance to learn from and connect with people and the land they call home.
