Travel information

Description

I’m a long-term traveller looking for great people and vibes. Currently living in Nayarit state, I'm always looking for an excuse to cross Mexico (or beyond), either by plane or in my 1987 Campervan, to meet great people or learn something new!

I’m a people-person, great at customer-service roles and at getting things done, no matter the task. My past career included marketing, communications and fundraising in the NGO sector. I have experience in relationship-building, communications, all types of writing, website content, branding and media. I also have a lot of volunteering experience (including volunteer management), through Workaway during my travels, and around the world volunteering for NGOs.

I have travelled much of the world and love meeting new people, learning about other cultures and gaining new skills. I'm from Canada but have visited 55+ countries and have lived / studied / worked extensively in Spain, Costa Rica, Australia, England, Cameroon and Cambodia. I spent 2018 in South America and 2018-present in Mexico.

I’m interested in learning about everything from permaculture and eco-construction to small business management, and am open to all types of work. I would love to help out in a permaculture farm, eco-community, retreat centre, guesthouse, gallery or cafe.

I love yoga and meditation, scuba diving, gardening/permaculture, nature, animals, horse-back riding, trekking and discovering new places!
