Travel information

I am currently

Description

I am a Canadian motivated to travel by my love of learning and humanity. I love people and their stories and learning new perspectives about all the world has to offer.

Currently, I am located in Canada after spending some time exploring Australia and New Zealand over the past 2 years. During this time, I worked extensively in the hospitality industry at various pubs and accommodations.

I am a keen individual who loves a new challenge and the satisfaction of a job well-done. I like to be able to complete a task, or an experience, knowing I put my all into it. I am eager to do jobs that allow me to learn about environmental sustainability and local history and culture while having access to the outdoors.

I like to spend time hiking, cycling, playing a game of soccer and exploring the world around me. If I'm not doing something in the outdoors, I'm probably inside reading, baking or telling terrible jokes to try and make everyone laugh.

- Alberta Pro Serve

My professional experience is as an Occupational Therapy Assistant in the field of Addictions and Mental Health. In this role, I developed and lead individualized and group recreational and occupational therapy programs. This has made me empathetic, an excellent active listener, and sociable with excellent communication skills and the ability to lead a group.

I have experience in the hospitality industry as a front-of-house allrounder and bartender. I have worked in multiple businesses and accommodations around the world that have required me to be able to jump between serving and bartending, food preparation, housekeeping and administrative/guest services roles.

I am physically fit and pretty strong! I am willing and able to complete physical work and enjoy doing so.

I love to cook and bake, especially for others, so I'd like to say I know my way around a kitchen pretty well!

Recently, I have taken an interest in gardening so while I am a beginner, I am motivated to learn more about planting and sustainable farming. I also love to hike and have recently started challenging myself with more long-distance day hikes and multi-day hikes. I am still a novice, but am slowly gaining backcountry skills and am keen to further develop some navigational and plant and animal identification knowledge.

What else ...

I like video games and card games. I am specifically a masterful Skip-Bo player.

I am obsessed with reading and books in general. I could talk about stories for hours. I also enjoy writing.

I enjoy "upcycling" or trying to find new ways to reuse old items. This is where a lot of my art, crafts and building experience comes from. I would love to add being able to use a proper sewing machine to my skillset.
