Description

After spending the past few years working on marine conservation projects and being on boats, I’m looking forward to heading off travelling and adventuring - exploring new places and learning about different cultures.

I’m my spare time, I enjoy reading, cooking, and being outdoors (cycling, kayaking and hiking).

I mainly work in marine conservation and in the maritime industry. However I’ve also spent time working in hospitality, the Arts (film making) and I even ran my own micro bakery for 2 years!

Jessie is awesome. She is capable of literally anything. Do not doubt it, she is the best volunteer you will find on work away. I couldn't recommend her enough.

We enjoyed having Jessie in our home and were happy with your work. The Queen-Elisabeth-kitchen towel was a really nice touch, thank you! Gladly we would have hosted you for a longer time, but unfortunately the stay was cut short due to an emergency at home. We wish you and your family the best.

Although I only stayed for a few days (had to leave due to a family emergency), I had a wonderful time with Regula and her son Ursin. They were very friendly and kind. The work was very reasonable and we had some great conversations over dinner - I learnt a lot.
Thankyou so much for making my short stay so lovely :)
