currently in Toronto, looking to plan travel around the east coast for Sept/Oct

Description

In July 2023 I quit my full-time corporate job to pursue what I call the "plan without a plan". My focus is learning about alternative ways of living, with a special interest in intentional communities. With my second (but equally important) being to get my hands dirty learning new skills (ie. animal care, sewing, gardening, cooking, general "fixing/repairing").

I do like embracing a more offline lifestyle, but this journey is made possible by my event business which requires me to have internet access 1-2 hours a day.

I'm a Canadian, and Toronto is my default home.

Lastly, I don't do WorkAway just to get "free" accommodation. The work and the opportunity to learn about a new way of life truly does excite me. I am happy to join in any community gathering but am also very self-reliant and can "host" myself anytime (especially in the case of house/pet sitting). I always have a book or personal project I can work on.

No dietary restrictions or accessibility needs. Non-smoker and fully-vaxxed.

More details about your skills

Professionally, I'm a "marketing swiss army knife". I have a scrappy mix of skills from social media, graphic design, website design and writing that tend to be perfect for small businesses. While I'm keen to learn new non-digital skills through Workaway, I'm open to taking a look at any needs you may have in this area.

Growing up I was lucky enough to get some experience sewing, riding horses, breeding rabbits, raising chickens and camping. My first farming placement (through WWOOF) had me helping with gardening and landscaping and I recently DIYed a wooden fence. I can't claim to be an expert in any of these things, but with each, I've done enough to know I enjoy them and would love to do more.

I've also worked for a youth charity and a toy company, both of which gave me experience working with kids. In particular, both roles involved getting young people (8-14) interested in world issues, history and entrepreneurship.
