Description

Coocoo! My name is Katie and I quit my job in the city about 8 months ago to explore a life in ecotourism. A couple of summers ago I was introduced to a very magical place, Kiamika Regional Park, where I performed my very first workaway. The experience I had at Kiamika had a profound effect on me and where I see myself in the future. It has inspired me to seek and follow a path in which I am able to harmoniously grow both spiritually and professionally. I am looking to apply the skills I have strengthened throughout the years, and contribute to the evolution of the ecotourism industry while at the same time being able to connect with others, myself, and nature.

My schedule is wide open in life right now and I would love to share parts of my journey with some funky people! For now I am focused on Canada. I am currently working in Tofino, BC, however, I must admit that I am an east coaster at heart and would love to make my way back east in the near future, eventually landing in Newfoundland.

I would really like to live off grid and get down and dirty avec la nature.

I love les petits plaisirs de la vie, dancing, music, yoga, art, meditation, spirituality, kayaking, fires, biking, hiking, staring at a pretty body of water, laughing, and enjoying life.

Au plaisir. :)

More details about your skills

My most recent experiences was in the events industry, as well as member relations. I have lots of client relations experience. It has also allowed me to appreciate taking on a diversity of tasks and love to work on different projects simultaneously. I am independent and also work very well with others.

My previous professional experiences involved a hefty amount of communications work as well, including website management and social media.

The interpersonal skills I have strengthened over the years would probably be the most relevant to a workaway job. I can optimistically scrub a toilet and do laundry as well . I'm game!

I am happy to learn
