Description

Hi! I'm an enthusiastic 23 year old who has just finished a Sociology and Geography degree in Scotland - but although I am young, I'm responsible and prefer an outdoor lifestyle to a loud city one.
I grew up abroad and moved every few years with my family (I've lived in Mongolia, Italy, Ethiopia, Laos, Vietnam, the Netherlands, and now Scotland) so I love traveling and meeting new people. I'm also flexible, hard-working, and generally learn and adapt quite quickly, so I'd love to be put to work and help out in any way I can!

More details about your skills

I used to bike about a marathon (40km) a day working for a food delivery service to save up for my trip to Norway. Since then, I have worked as a cleaner in a bookshop, a Kitchen Porter in a museum/events venue and also for a Catering service that sends me to hotels, stadiums etc. as a helping hand (waiter, kitchen, till operator) to save up for trips while studying at university.
I also absolutely loved my time helping a Husky kennel owner in Northern Norway with both dog sled training, and Airbnb services. In addition, I've worked a summer with a tourism operator in Mongolia, where I spent about half my time as restaurant manager in a remote 'ger' (yurt) camp running day-to-day guest interactions, accomodation setups, cultural activities, and logistics for a large conference, and the other half working in the office with international client communications, content editing, and other special projects.
I'm also very flexible, responsible and hardworking so will work as many hours as you need.
But I've also had lots of experience childminding and caretaking a family with 4 kids (some with extra care needs) for almos 2 years if you're looking for help with kids or a mixed age group
But in general, I perform best outdoors in nature and will help out wherever needed. I don't have previous carpentry skills if that's what you're looking for, but I make up for what I don't know with an eager attitude, willing to learn and help out wherever needed!!
