Description

Hi everyone, I'm Ellie!

I'm 21 and currently attending University in California studying Ecology and Evolutionary Biology.

I am particularly interested in nature conservation projects, sailing, working with animals (particularly dogs), and spending time outdoors.

In my free time, I like to hike, camp, do beach cleanups, and spend time with friends. I want to travel to the places I've always wanted to visit, make connections, and immerse myself in the lifestyle of my hosts.

I'm very comfortable working outdoors for long hours and have lots of experience taking care of animals. I've had cats and dogs my entire life, and have 10+ years of dogsitting experience.

I'm always wanting to learn new skills, so if there are projects you want help with, I promise to set my mind to learning and being as useful as I can. I'm currently learning how to weld- I love to work with my hands and enjoy physically challenging tasks.
