Description

I am currently on a gap year from studying to be a dietitian, hoping to explore europe.

I became interested in slower living and mindfulness around 2022, and began exploring meditation, yoga and gratitude practices. I worked at a summer camp in 2022 and fell in love with community living, making the most amazing friendships, and taking with me many new life skills.

Although I have some experience in meditation, I am very much a beginner in search of an oppurtunity for more consistent practice.

I also love working with kids, animals, open-minded and compassionate people, immersing myself in new cultures, different cuisines and landscapes. I enjoy a good hike, campfires and cosy drinks. My heart melts for sunsets too...

More details about your skills

My first job was working in a pottery studio. Responsibilities included welcoming customers and teaching them basic painting skills, teaching kids art classes, adults potters wheel classes and art classes for adults with learning difficulties. I was also responsible for cleaning, opening and closing, cashing up and organising the studio. I loved a good deep clean!

I have worked with kids a fair bit, including working 2 summers at an ice hockey camp in Canada and I am currently employed at a preschool nursery. I love working with kids, the learning through play approach and helping them overcome challenges.

I have worked in various hospitality settings including waitressing at high-end hotels, to working the buffet at budget holiday resorts. I also am studying to be a dietitian so have a good understanding of special dietary needs. I'm an avid cook and love trying out new vegetarian recipes.

I can paint and draw fairly well (as long as time permits it) so happy to assist painting and decorating jobs.

Age

21

What else ...

I used to dive - springboard rather than scuba - so love taking a plunge and if there is a safe place to cliff jump... im in! I also love being in the water, the lake and just swimming in beautiful places in general

One of m favourite ways to spend the evening - as cheesy as it is - is around a campfire with friends. We did this a lot in Canada and it created such special bonds between people and memories for a lifetime

I am interested in buddhism but don't really know where to start. I am hoping to find an experience to guide me. I would like to practice yoga too!
