Description
Hi I work in tourism, which where I live means I work seasonally, June to October. That means I have just a "bit" (8 month) of free time to do other things. Sometimes I keep to myself and to my crafting/gardening hobbies, but Canadian winters are long and cold! I would every much like to explore more of the world, continue learning, and growing as an individual. I am currently working on improving my French. I have some farming experience and I've been told that I'm very creative. I think that be creative is just a way of looking at the world, looking for the solutions rather then the problem, seeing with the eyes of a child. So I guess that means I embrace my inner child.

More details about your skills
I studied tailoring in London England, and have worked as a dressmaker for most of my working life. However twelve years ago I returned to my childhood home in Labrador, and have been working as a tour guide. I have also spend a good bit time working as free labor on my parents experimental farm, mostly weeding! and some animal care, planting etc. I'm good with my hand, can talk a mile a minute, but don't ask me do anything involving paper work. I'll do it but you'd have to fix all the mistakes! Causal labor suits me just fine. :)
