Description

I love to learn new skills, meet new people, care for others and care for our wonderful natural environment💚🌏✌️.

I am calm and kind natured. I love relaxing 😌, yoga 🧘‍♀️, music 🎵, surfing 🏄‍♀️, cooking 🧑‍🍳, cycling 🚲, swimming 🏊‍♀️ and hiking 🥾.

But my biggest love in life is the ocean 🌊 💙.

I am interested in meaningful conversation and new experiences from which I can learn and grow ☺️.

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤🤍🤎
I think there are many people in the world who have forgotten that they are alive and living and therefore should LIVE! If you have the privilege to make choices, then choose life and love and laughter and humanity.

I don't want to let life just happen. I've already wasted so many years working a stinky, stressful corporate job that just enabled the system of stress, disconnection and suffering to continue.

I want to love my life so deeply and experience pure joy everyday knowing I am actively choosing the life I am living.

I wake up everyday so grateful for the love and happiness that I have opened my heart to. And so grateful that I have the privilege to choose this life.

If more people with the privilege to choose a life of authentic love and happiness did, then I really believe that so much suffering in the world would be healed as we relearn our humanity and find connection through a shared love.
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤🤍🤎

More details about your skills

I am a people person with great communication skills. I am passionate about connecting with and getting to know people. From years of working on big and busy teams (with people from all across the world) I am great at motivating my team to work together to get the job done (and have fun along the way).

I have professional experience with child care 👩‍👧, hospitality ☕️, customer service 🛎, accounting and finance💰 and sustainability reporting (GHG emissions) 🌿. I also has advanced computer skills 💻 as my (ex)day job was reliant on Microsoft excel.

I have previous workaway experience (2.5 months) at an organic farm with a bar and pizza restaurant. I helped with nurturing, growing and harvesting in the food forest 👩‍🌾, cooking food for other workawayers 🧑‍🍳, making jam and baking 🧁, working in the bar 🍺 and the pizza kitchen 🍕 and teaching new workawayers.

After this first workaway I then went sailboat ⛵️ hitchhiking through the Caribbean 🏴‍☠️ (1.5 months). While living on the boat I needed to help with the watches 👀, share cooking responsibilities 👩‍🍳 and clean and deep clean the boat 🧽. A boat is a very small living space so it also helps to get along with your crew and captain ☺️.

I also have workaway experience (1 month) at a dog resort 🐶 and rescue centre, helping to look after the dogs, and clean and maintain the property.

I also have workaway experience (2 months) at a beach front surf hostel 🏄‍♀️. Here I was responsible for reception 🛎, helping to cook breakfasts 🧑‍🍳, helping with odd cleaning jobs 🧽 and creating a nice and welcoming vibe for our guests ☀️. I also helped create and improve some business processes/controls (inventory, purchases expenses etc) 💻. I also learnt how to use the hotel software called Lobby. This included understanding the integrations with the different booking platforms (e.g.booking.com etc).

In this current moment, i am working at another beach front surf hostel 🏄‍♀️ in the Chocó region of Colombia. Here I help with reception 🛎️ and social media posts 📷📱. I also help with creating a nice and welcoming vibe for our guests ☀️.

I am a very competent swimmer 🏊‍♀️ , and have my advanced open water scuba certificate 🤿. In the past I have been a volunteer life guard 🛟.

I am a very keen cook, cooking vegetarian and vegan food and I also bake bread. I am a gardener with experience with indoor plants and veggie gardens.

I am a super keen and quick learner and a very hard worker ☺️

What else ...

Right now my main interest is learning about permaculture and sustainable food systems. After focusing my studies on consumption and waste, I believe the food system is a key area in our society that needs to drastically change if we are to avoid catastrophe. I want to be part of that change.

I would also love to learn about bikepacking and gain more experience surfing, rock climbing and scuba diving.

I am anti-capitalist 💰, a feminist 💃 and an environmentalist 🦋. I am an ally to Indigenous People, People of Colour, People of all Abilities and People who identify with the LGBTQIA Community 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️. If this does not align to your value system please tell me so we can avoid disappointment latter.
