Description
Hello! I'm Rose and I am using workaway to make new friends and learn about other people and places! I am American, originally from NY state. I now work in Idaho as a wildland firefighter. I love to travel and study languages (I'm conversational in Chinese and French, a beginner in Spanish). I like to spend time outdoors and explore new places. I enjoy hiking, running, reading, cooking, and generally new challenges and environments. I am a hard worker and enjoy working with other people. I'm traveling while I am off work for the winter and will be returning home for fire season. :)
