Travel information

I am currently

Description

Hi there! I'm a wandering college student who strongly believes in learning and by living, and becoming part of a place in order to really see it. I guess you could say I'm motivated to explore, but most of the time I'm just looking for another adventure :) I love to be outdoors: sailing, backpacking, biking, diving, and pretty much all other mildly dangerous activities (with reasonable safety precautions) are my preferred pastimes. I have a strong interest in agriculture/animal care, but have professional ambitions leaning more toward writing and architecture. I recently graduated from Lewis & Clark College in Portland (Oregon), and am taking some time off before attending the Bartlett School of Architecture in London. I am currently working for Lofoten Seaweed in Lofoten, Norway (through workaway) and am looking for a position in Ireland starting July 2022.

Skill List:

Customer Service: As a young person, at least half of the work I've done has been in customer service or sales positions. These include: scenic flight sales (Alaska), ski rentals (Minnesota), and camping reservations (also Minnesota).

Writing: I am versed in technical writing (the boring, academic report kind) and can also write a very readable article, per my on and off work as a ghostwriter for blogs and other sites (most recently with a gardening focus).

Excel: I am an excel-lent data collector and manager, and generally get along with Microsoft when it comes to digitalizing these things. My experience is in agricultural data management for a vineyard.

Wilderness First Aid: I am certified in first aid specific to backcountry/winter emergencies. I was also re-certified for CPR in 2019.

SCUBA: Not sure if there are any scuba diving workaways out there, but I was certified in SCUBA in 2018 and have completed 19 dives.

Baking/Cooking: worked in a bakery for two years, and make a mean chocolate chip cookie! If you hand me a recipe or show me some ingredients, I promise it'll turn out.
