Description

Hi! My name is Ember, and I travel with my companion cat Loki.
I love being on the open road, especially seeing sunsets, the moon, and little nooks in parks with a clear view of the stars. I have been to 33 states in the USA, with hopes for abroad travel one day. I am passionate about community living and participating in sustainable projects. My lil ki and I have been travelling, doing work exchange, or visiting friends since August 2021. Honestly, growing up in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, then moving around, eventually living downtown Orlando - jumping into travelling and being in eco-friendly spaces has felt like a homecoming and given me a purpose in life. In my free time I am usually painting, reading, and listening to a podcast or music. I am motivated by the community movement, group projects, the morning sun, strong coffee, birds chirping, plants growing, and close friendship. Last spring, I herniated a disc, so I am excited to get back out there!
About Loki cat: He is good indoor or outdoor, neutered, rabies up to date, good with cats after getting to know, good with people, hides from dogs.

More details about your skills

My experience ranges from nannying and day care (since 2009) to farm work. My nomadic soul has worked as a bookkeeper, personal assistant, maintenance/houseman/housekeeper/co-inspector, retail associate, restaurant host, food prepper, and DoorDash driver. I have also worked some with a non-profit for cats and dogs and another raising money to end poverty. My other two longest experiences are as a cook in an elderly home for 4 years, and a hotel front desk agent for 5 years. In community, I spend most of my time in the kitchen. In one work exchange (thru another app) I was asked to be their assistant grounds manager, creating schedules for garden, kitchen, cleaning, and build teams, and any extra tasks - specifically organizing (which is a natural skill I've developed since childhood). My skills transformed to gardening (planting, harvesting, maintaining, digging, mulching) and construction (painting, caulking, assisting). I have milked cows and goats, and participated in other farm chores.
