  • Description

    Hello
    I am From Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I’m 30 years old and I’ve been travelling the world for about seven years.
    I started travelling And volunteering Back into 2012 when I was only 17 and a half. And I got the travelling volunteer bug. Since then I have volunteered and travelled in Canada, China, Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan and many other places I am in the yukon right now.
    I don’t think I’ll ever stop and I don’t think I ever want to. I like being around nice people hearing amazing stories (And telling a few of my own) and truly getting in touch with nature and the culture that I’m living with.

    One of my favourite things to do is learning how to cook traditional meals in the country I am living in and to learn new life skills. I’m currently learning photography and video cinematography for my website and youtube channel. I truly want to understand the world around me and the people that live in this beautiful world of ours. In China, I volunteered with a host and helped her for two years as an au-pair while learning how to speak traditional Mandarin Chinese and cook traditional Chinese food. I also volunteered as a class teacher in a school for the underprivileged kids.
    In Taiwan, I worked at an organic rice farm planting, pruning, cutting and packing rice and helped make the meals for the whole group of volunteers.
    In Japan, I worked at A organic Apple Orchard where I poured concrete, set up terraces and pruned and cut trees.

    The time I Spent in Korea, I volunteered to teach English at an English café. I also did a two-month internship as a professional coffee roaster Where I learned a lot about the coffee industry. After that I volunteered in two hostels in juju where I cleaned rooms, maintained the building. I also helped cook breakfast which was lots of fun.
    And in Australia, worked for the 2 year On a 1,500 cow milk farm. Also volunteered as an organic vegetable farmer which was a lot of fun.

    I am Have been working/volunteering in an off grid resort in the Yukon for the past 2 years where I am the main cook and baker, as well as a maintenance man for the resort to you if anything needs to be done. I am the one that dose it.

    I am looking to volunteer In turkey,
    I miss volunteering so much and I’m excited to start up again and learn new skills and meet new friends.
    If you have any questions at all do not hesitate to message me; I’m an open book.
    thank you so much for your time and I hope to hear from you soon.
