Description

Dedicated nature lover! Taking a break from my life’s work as a speech therapist for children with disabilities. I will be slowing down my lifestyle, adventuring and connecting with the earth and people. Yoga, cycling, exploring as well as delighting in flora and fauna are my favorite activities.

Respect and sustainability are important to me. I will be a conscientious guest, keep things tidy and respect your home and land. Also, I'm a diligent worker and try to clearly understand and communicate expectations.

I'm always trying to be culturally aware and am perpetually learning. I am independent and enjoy solo travel- it’s where I most encounter the beauty of humanity. Just getting started volunteering through work away, but I have worked as a volunteer globally as a speech pathologist.

As an experienced solo camper and traveler, I am comfortable sleeping outside and in simple accommodations. I appreciate space and quiet and have a deep appreciation for beauty and our earth. And have a generally upbeat attitude and also love to cook vegetarian food.

For 20 years people have trusted me to stay at their houses to care for their farms, children, pets, and homes.

More details about your skills

I have experience volunteering on an organic farm (I helped my friend get hers established) and working at a plant nursery doing: planting, harvesting, seeding and weeding, as well as creating/ managing different types of composting projects. I worked as an independent landscaper as well as for our department of natural resources managing a trail maintenance crew as we completed invasive removals, cleared trails, trimmed brush and bushes/ trees and spread mulch. Personally, I enjoy spending time in nature as well as gardening, both flowers and vegetables.
