Travel information

I am currently

Description

Update - I am currently unavailable until October
I have been work/travelling in Ontario and Quebec for a year now, and plan to make my way towards western Canada after October 2025 ----My goal is to work while travelling to see diferent parts of Canada and learn about the different communities. I have gained some experience working with animals (dogs, horses, cows, cats and chickens) and vegetable farms I also have a lot of experience in kitchen work, cleaning and housekeeping. I am full of life and adventure and want to learn many new skills, while I also have many skills to share I like to see the positive in life, and think the glass is half full. I am a happy, positive person and strive to be kind to everyone. My longer term goal is to run my own farm and give community outreach through farm work.
I look forward to travels and meeting you!
