Description
Hi I'm Jess! I'm from the middle of Wales, where there are more sheep than humans. I'm used to being fully emersed in the outdoors and I find I'm most happy when I'm living very simply. I love to travel and last year completed my first adventure with my partner across British Columbia using Workaway. It was incredible and we loved it so much that in the future we hope to settle down there. Shortly after the trip my partner joined the army, and I decided to apply for university. So this trip is my pre-uni solo adventure!

I'm going to be studying Wildlife Conservation in uni, and I hope to stay at places which are related to this. I'm very interested in organic farming methods, and living off grid - connected to nature as much as possible.

I'm eager to learn and happy to help please don't hesitate to get in touch if I can

More details about your skills
I'm very good with animals, I have always had cats and dogs (as you can see in my photos :)) and have experience with farm animals such as goats, poultry, alpaca and bison! I do have a bit of experience with horses but this is a skill I would love to develop more since I would love to have my own someday.

I have helped on many farm and gardening projects including: planting tree guilds, a lot of de-weeding, foraging, building bat boxes as well as building and staining a garden deck. I'm very eager to learn new skills on this trip!
I'm a keen baker (brownies being my best dish), I love to crochet and do creative projects

We had an incredible time at the Ranch, Danica and Ken treat everyone with lots of respect and are very welcoming. We were provided with lots of awesome food and the biggest bed we have ever slept in! The work is related to firewood usually but with other workaways there it was fun to do. The the other job is night shifts with Tilly, we enjoyed… read more

Jessica and Jason were a pleasure to host. They were kind considerate and friendly. Very gentle with the animals and very diligent and completing their tasks. I would happily host them again.

We had a great time at Ian's place, our main role was looking after the puppies/dogs while Ian was on the road. All the dogs are well trained and very friendly. The chickens are fun to look after too! We enjoyed the offgrid style of the accommodation, and loved being able to see the stars each night. Almost every night we had a campfire which we… read more

We loved our stay with Briggy and her family! Everyone was extremely welcoming and although we were only here for a short stay we felt at home quickly. Briggy is an amazing baker and it was a pleasure to learn from her! All tasks were enjoyable to do and work was flexible. Anyone would be lucky to be able to stay here :)

It was a pleasure to have Jess and Jason with us! Both were very polite, respectful, and helpful. From splitting firewood, gathering and cleaning eggs, planting strawberries, rolling pretzels, and baking muffins, they pitched in with eagerness and a willingness to learn
They are fun, and we all enjoyed sitting on the deck sharing life stories.… read more

We had an amazing time at Chidakash's! We were able to find our love for gardening and we learnt so much about plants! What we loved most was being able to learn so much about culture here. Chidakash leads a very peaceful life exploring different perspectives on pretty much any topics we could think of. We enjoyed many interesting conversations… read more

A big thank you to Ivana for welcoming us into her home and letting us be part of life with the dogs for a while! We were lucky to be there. Ivana is kind, easy to talk to, and made it all feel really natural from the start.

The dogs were so much fun! Each one so different, full of quirks, and just great to be around. We loved spending time with… read more

Had an incredible time here! Communication was amazing, and we felt comfortable as soon as we arrived. This was an awesome community, and we feel like we learned so much about ecological gardening, chickens and permaculture. We had plenty of opportunities to visit Ganges and various destinations in the area such as Erskine.

Big thanks to Todo,… read more

A huge thank you to Norm, Candace, and Amina for hosting us! Words can't fully capture our experience—staying in the earth cabin, hearing the wolves at night, and seeing the stars with such clarity was unforgettable. Beaver Valley was stunning, the lake was a joy to explore, and Candace and Norm were incredibly welcoming. We truly appreciated the… read more
