Description

I am looking to slow down, learn Spanish, and embrace another culture.

::::NICOLE::::
Born in Sweden, raised in Spain till 9 and grew up in the US. Travel has always been a part of my life. I love diving into new places, learning new cultures and languages, and gaining new skills.
Over the past few years I've worked and volunteered in a wide mix of roles including nannying, outdoor adventure guiding, high-ropes and team-building facilitation, farming, hospitality, baking, yard maintenance, and house renovation. I spent 9 months in New Zealand working as a teacher’s aide, vineyard worker, assistant cook, and more — and also lived and worked on islands in Hawaii in farming and home-building roles.
Currently I’m back in North Carolina learning house-flipping and renovation alongside my dad while nannying.

More details about your skills

I have grown up with a dad who always has some renovation on a house happening. I would help with floor installations, insulation of walls, painting, etc. I used refurbish furniture to resell in high school as a hobby. I grew a new love for farming during my Workaway stay in Hawaii as well, where I grew new skills in identifying native plants to the island, care routine for the garden, baking with what we harvested, while keeping everything as self-sustainable as the family could. I continue to develop skills in activities that allow me to be outside like mountain biking, paddle boarding, hiking, etc. I was backpacking guide that entailed mountain biking, outdoor climbing, kayaking and more for high schoolers two summer seasons.
