Description
Hi I'm Vy, 29 and from Australia. currently in Canada and exploring this beautiful country for the next two years.
I'm hoping through; meeting locals, seeing their daily life and helping/working towards people's goals, I'd be able to experience Canada in a deeply insightful and enriching way.
I love being outdoors and exploring new terrains brings me joy.

I am a professional Chef by trade for 7 years so I am happy to help with all things culinary. Mediterranean is my main style of cooking and eating however comfortable in many different cuisines.

List of other practical skills and abilities are:

- Painting (interior, exterior)
- Fire wood - splitting/chopping
- Tidying/organising cluttered areas (if you have a clear goal of what you need done, I can get you there!)
- Gardening, clearing and shoveling snow
- A pretty darn good second pair of hands for any task

Self motivated and can work in teams or unsupervised.
Hope to get connected and see where I can help you on your journey and in turn, mine!
