  • Description

    Hi! I'm Brook and I love travelling to refresh my perspective, reconnect with myself, meet new people, have new experiences, and learn and grow. I grew up in a small ski town in British Columbia, Canada, and after moving to the coast of BC (Vancouver) for university, my home base has been the outdoor recreation capital of Squamish for nearly 10 years.

    I love anything active outside: walking, hiking, rock climbing, skiing, or swimming, as well as yoga, eating sustainably (veganism), expanding my mindset through living new experiences and meeting new people, and above all, reveling in simple pleasures like coffee, sun on my skin, and long bus rides with my music and journal.

    My undergraduate degree is in science - Food, Nutrition, and Health, with a minor in commerce, and I work in the food and beverage industry - serving, bartending, cooking, barista-ing, and more, as well as work as a bookkeeper remotely.

    I only speak english fully, however I am learning Spanish, and am hoping to quickly improve in my travels these next few months!

  • More details about your skills

    Overall, my skills are wide and varied, I like to think of myself as someone who is a doer and a problem solver. I'm pretty fit and I learn very quickly!

    I love writing, and could definitely help with anything in that respect whether it be advertising or social media or creative projects.

    I have a ton of experience in the kitchen - I'm always happy to make plant based meals and snacks. And of course the drinks to go with them! Since my degree is in nutrition I'm also able to make meal plans.

    I'm also good with pets - I've had a variety my whole life and recently have been doing dog sitting and walking on the side.

    I have my permaculture design certificate and some gardening experience as well, mostly with planting season when I was living on an off-grid homestead.
