Hello, I'm Shayna! I recently graduated with a degree in environmental science, and now I'm on a mission to immerse myself in nature, connect with like-minded individuals, and embrace life's adventures.
It is my deep-rooted passion for the environment and sustainable living that has shaped my outlook on life. Gardening has always been a love of mine, and recently I've delved into the world of foraging and plant medicine. I've developed versatile handy skills from both family home projects and hands-on manual labor jobs.
I'm your ideal partner for elevating the atmosphere at hostels and guesthouses. From tackling cleaning duties to arranging lively events, I'm here to ensure everything runs smoothly. With prior experience in event planning and a knack for warmly greeting guests, I'm well-equipped to contribute to a fun and enjoyable stay for visitors.
I love exploring new places to experience different ways of living, different cultures, and languages. My true happiness lies in being surrounded by nature and good company. I consider myself open-minded, compassionate, and welcoming. I'm always seeking opportunities to grow and have a positive impact on those around me.
I look forward to connecting and sharing experiences together :)Interests

I love plants and I've learnt about gardening from tending to plants alongside my grandparents to engaging in fieldwork, such as soil sampling, and participating in green bean experiments. I can do anything from landscaping to helping out with a compost system.
My BSc in Environmental Science has really broadened my horizons. I've got knowledge in chemistry, biology, geology, and earth sciences. I'm not yet sure where my expertise, problem-solving, or writing abilities will take me.
I've spent lots of time event planning for various organizations such as the Science Student Association, and gained exceptional customer service skills as a hostess. I eagerly anticipate applying my talents to enhance the guest experience. I thrive on interacting with people and socializing, making every guest feel at home and creating memorable connections.
I love being active, and soaking up new skills. If you're looking for someone who's not afraid to get their hands dirty, eager to learn, and has a solid understanding of the environment, then I'm your person!Age

What else ...
I absolutely love being out by the water, star gazing, and being an early riser to catch sunrises. Nature never fails to captivate me, whether it's the allure of cool rocks, the beauty of birds and flowers, the world of insects, or even the fascinating realm of mushrooms. Simply put, I can't help but be drawn to everything the great outdoors has to offer.
