Description

Hello there! I'm a friendly and enthusiastic traveler with over a decade of experience in Human Resources. I've spent my career working closely with people from all walks of life, and I've done everything from training to volunteering in the community as an interpreter.

My main purpose now is to lead an easy life, see the world, meet some amazing people, and create beautiful, exciting stories I can tell in future :)

I’d say I’m an extroverted introvert. I love meeting new people and being part of a group with a similar purpose, but I also appreciate my quiet moments to recharge. This means I’m equally happy socialising and working hard alongside others as I am enjoying a bit of downtime.

Travel is a big part of who I am. I’ve wandered through the bustling markets of Thailand and Vietnam, enjoyed the laid-back vibes of Costa Rica and Cuba, and marveled at the history and beauty of Europe, from Italy to the Czech Republic and France. I spent over a decade living in England and took a year off to explore Canada, where I worked as a housekeeper in a hotel and on a ski lift. Those jobs taught me that no work is beneath me, and I’m not afraid to roll up my sleeves and get things done. Plus, I got to ski a lot and fell in love with the incredible nature, hiking countless mountains and lakes.

In January, I decided it was time for a change and left my job of five years. Now, I’m looking to find more meaning in life by combining my skills with my passions. I’m excited to dive into sustainability projects, get my hands dirty, and make a real difference.

Sustainability: I’m passionate about living sustainably. I love gardening and have grown my own vegetables and fruits.
DIY and Upcycling: I have a knack for DIY projects and enjoy upcycling furniture and items, giving them a new lease on life.
Animal Lover: I adore animals and love working with them.
Outdoor Activities: I’m keen on being active and working outdoors, embracing tasks that involve physical work and creativity.

I’m ready to get my hands dirty and take on any challenge. I’m a quick learner and a hard worker, eager to pitch in and help achieve whatever needs doing. Whether it’s heavy lifting, detailed projects, or anything in between, I’m up for it.

With no commitments tying me down, I’m flexible and ready for new adventures. I’m excited to work with like-minded people and contribute to meaningful projects.

Thank you for checking out my profile. I can’t wait to get started and make a positive impact with you!

I’ve grown my own vegetables and fruits in my garden, practicing sustainable farming techniques. I can help with planting, weeding, composting, and general garden maintenance.

I have worked on an apple farm in Norway. I was involved in the whole process from picking the fruit to juicing and pasterising it.

2. Animal Care
I’m a member of Trusted Housesitters and have taken care of various pets, ensuring they are well-fed, exercised, and loved. I also adore animals and am excited to work with them, be it on a husky sledge farm in Norway or other settings.

3. DIY and Upcycling
I have a knack for DIY projects and enjoy upcycling furniture and items, giving them a new lease on life. I can help with building, repairing, and creatively repurposing materials.

4. Housekeeping and Cleaning
I worked as a housekeeper in Canadian lodges in Banff, where I learned the importance of cleanliness and attention to detail. I can assist with cleaning, organising, and maintaining a tidy living space.

5. Elderly Care
I took care of my grandmother after her surgery, being her sole carer. This experience taught me patience, empathy, and the importance of providing compassionate care.

6. Event and Project Coordination
With my HR background, I have experience in organising and coordinating events and projects. I can help plan community events, manage schedules, and ensure everything runs smoothly.

7. Training and Mentorship
As a former trainer, I can share my knowledge and skills with others, offering guidance and support in various tasks and projects. I’m great at breaking down complex tasks into manageable steps.

8. Interpersonal Skills
I’ve worked with people from diverse backgrounds and cultures, which has honed my communication and interpersonal skills. I can mediate conflicts, foster teamwork, and create a harmonious working environment.

9. Physical Labor
I’m not afraid of hard work and enjoy being active. My experience working on a ski lift in Canada has prepared me for physically demanding tasks, whether it’s farm work, construction, or outdoor maintenance.

10. Flexible and Adaptable
I have a flexible schedule and am open to trying new things. My diverse experiences have made me adaptable to different environments and tasks, making me a reliable and versatile helper.

With these skills, I’m ready to contribute to various projects, from sustainable farming and animal care to community initiatives and more. Let’s work together to achieve great things!
