More details about your skills
People say i'm a cheerful quick learner.
I have skills in different areas:
Tourism:
I worked as a tour guide in different countries. I did kayaking tours in the ocean and snorkeling tours in bays in Ecuador. I've also been a tour guide for volcanoes and camping trip in Nicaragua. I'm not afraid of mud or sweat, and I put the client first! :)
Animal care:
I am very passionate about animals and wildlife: it's one of my favorite thing about traveling.
I have experience with animal care and animal handling. I volunteered in dog shelters, but also in a rescue center with monkeys, crocodiles and horses. I have experience with farm animals too. I also worked in a veterinary clinic in the past.
Social:
I am a certified Profesionnal Social Worker.
I have experience in immigration and mental health, working mostly with adults, elderly and families.
I worked with people suffering from depression, schizophrenia, grief, anxiety and much more, trying to find balance in life. There is always hope.
Hospitality:
I volunteered in hostels while traveling in different countries and i'm always learning so much from it. I did cleaning, sweeping, yard work and gardening amongst most thing. Basically if you explain it well to me, i can do!
Permaculture:
I've been initiated to planting, pruning, mulching, harvesting and other tasks. I have experience working in garden, farm and even forest. The hardest part is waiting for the fruits to be ripe! ;)
Childcare:
I also have a lot of experience in babysitting, pet-sitting and house sitting.
I started babysitting when I was 13 years old. I have experience with babies, children, teenagers, pets, plants and even small shop keeping. I value people's trust a lot.
Language:
I speak french, I did some tutoring for college students. I also speak English and Spanish. I would love to learn a bit of Swahili!
I'll be happy to chat with you and see if we could get along and gain from helping one another :)
Age
30
What else ...
The ideal experience involves animals, wildlife, nature and eco-friendly project.
I would like to be around friendly, open-minded people for cultural exchange.
I volunteered in the past in different organisations and events.
I like to cook in group and I enjoy discovering and trying new recipes.
I come from a very multiethnic and open-minded part of Canada, in the city of Montréal: I am really excited about this cultural exchange!
In my freetime, I enjoy cycling, walking, playing guitar, listening to music, painting, drawing, reading and watching documentaries! Life has so much to offer!

I spent 3 AMAZING weeks helping out the guys with the kayak gears and tours.
Honestly i just fell in love with the place. You do have to have a little "hippie side" to enjoy it fully. You will sleep in a cozy 1 person tent and see breathtaking sunsets, constellations and hear the rain at night and roosters early in the… read more
