Description

*Available from Mid-December to mid-January over the holiday period.

Recently I've been spending my summers working on organic market garden farms in BC. Currently working in Lillooet for a farm that additionally ferments (very exciting!). I will be finishing this season in December and would love to find a new experience to spend a few months until the next season begins.

I have previously worked in hotels and hostels as a Receptionist, Night Auditor, and all-around crew member helping housekeeping when needed. I have worked in an office selling whale watching tours in Tofino and Heli-Hike tours in New Zealand. I love working in hospitality and meeting people from around the world who want to experience the amazing adventures that brought me to the same place : )

I enjoy rural/remote locations, surrounded by animals and being outdoors : )

What else ...

I lean towards the introverted side although I love getting to know new people, places, and cultures. I enjoy my personal space, and spend my free time outdoors or curled-up with a book.

I have lived in many shared housing situations, and I value clean and tidy common areas and maintaining a welcoming home. I love animals (especially dogs) and am happy to live alongside them, they are never a bother.
