  • Description

    Greetings hosts!

    I am a student of anthropology who has a myriad of extracurricular interests: fungi (foraging, growing, facts!), music, art, kickboxing, journalism and creative writing, and much more. I have had incredible experiences WWOOFing on farms and botanical gardens, hiking in my native Appalachian Mountains, and working in a US National Forest as a resident baker last summer! I have so many passions and would love to share them with others around the world. Spain is my primary interest at the moment as I am trying to become more fluent in Spanish in preparation for a year abroad in Chile!

  • More details about your skills

    I may be young but I've had quite a lot of work and volunteer experience! I have worked on farms (Christmas tree farm, small-scale mushroom farm, botanical garden), so I have used power tools, have some gardening experience, and have experience doing workaway-like jobs (WWOOFing). I quite enjoy some physical labor! I worked last summer in a pop-up residential hiking camp in an Oregon National Forest, during which I did a fair bit of construction and, mainly, baking!

    I have a few years of Spanish under my belt and am hoping for more conversational experience! But aside from that, I am a good communicator and hard worker, as well as keen on creativity and learning new things. I tend to pick new things up quite quickly!

  • What else ...

    I am certainly interested in learning more about creating an eco-home / homestead (solar, growing culinary and medicinal plants, water catchment, etc.). Hoping to create something similar in the future for myself! I am also happy to get more experience with hardware/fixing/ building household things.

    I LOVE hiking, foraging, biking, kayaking and wild swimming - basically all things outdoors. I have loads of hobbies, including yoga, art, kickboxing, playing music, singing, writing...too much arguably!
