Description
I'm Meg, from Scotland, I really love things that pull out the creative/playful part of me and make me feel alive - so being outside, making things, hiking, music, swimming in the sea/lakes, talking to interesting people.

I don't know how to say more without sounding incredibly generic (I feel incredibly lucky to have the chance to move around the world a bit, meet people and learn more about ways of living other than the city life I grew up with, and being so in love with the mountains and sea in Scotland makes me really excited to explore the landscapes of other places).

I've spent a fair bit of my life living in various countries, so I'm pretty confident in being adaptable to the place I end up :)

More details about your skills
I'm not an engineer, carpenter or agriculturalist by training (I'm a biologist), but I am healthy, fairly strong, able-bodied and pick things up fast. I've spent some time on farms (I spent one summer doing a research project on compost, and another on a farm in Switzerland), doing building projects (making theatre sets and props, building treehouses in a forest occupation, a workaway making live-in vans), and if you want some yeast cultivated I've got you covered (this is only funny to me because of my PhD, but I can explain) ;)

Aside from that, all the regular housework, cooking, baking, weeding things I'm more than happy to do

I had a really lovely 3 weeks in Valparaiso!! The hostel is very laid back, with some long-term guests plus the volunteers, so in many ways it feels like a big shared house where some of the residents clean and do laundry in exchange for not paying rent, which is super nice. Everyone was really lovely and welcoming to me, and very patient with my… read more

Julian is incredibly skilled at every type of work possible, and so patient and supportive in teaching - he really goes out of his way to try to make sure the work he gives you is something you'll enjoy, and that you can learn from (in addition to basic… read more
