Description
Hi, I'm Skylar! I am planning to spend a few months travelling around Europe

I recently graduated from University with a BSc in Materials Engineering, and have been working as a surveyor for the past few years, sending me to remote locations all over western Canada. A few hobbies of mine are camping, hiking, and indoor bouldering.

I'm excited to travel in Europe, as I love to meet new people and experience their culture, language and food!

More details about your skills
I grew up in a rural town in Canada and have family who operate small farms. Helping out around the farm, whether taking care of animals (horses, dogs, chickens, cows, etc), or helping with gardening and hay bailing are tasks I am happy to do!

I am defineilty able and willing to help with any labour! I worked in a lumber yard for a few years as a labourer. I also have some expierence in DIY, having helped my Dad build his fence and deck.

I also have quite a bit of experience working with children. I worked as a Babysitter, a Lifeguard + Water Safety Instructor, a TaeKwonDo Instructor, and a Soccer Coach / Referee.

I also like to cook and would love the opportunity to learn how to make new dishes!

I am eager to learn and to help out however I can!

For two weeks I was lucky to have Skylar join my garden project. He is a super nice person, whom I very much enjoyed having around. He is very friendly, fun and goofy and always very eager to help with anything. When my water pump was broken he was the first to volunteer to go down in a deep and dirty pit full of cold water and mud to fix the… read more

Staying with Andreas in his garden was my first workaway experience, and it was awesome! The garden has the perfect atmosphere, there are lots of projects to keep you busy, and still lots of time to kick back and relax while enjoying great food and even better company!
Being able to meet Andreas and all of his friends was definitely a highlight,… read more
