Hello!
I'm a curious traveler and am keen to build up my WorkAway experience. Originally from Toronto, Canada, then lived in San Francisco for nearly 20 years.
I consider myself very responsible - I started and lead a nonprofit, I own a small business, and I've managed over 50 people in my career at multiple companies. Now, I'm seeking to take a break from that life and improve my understanding of farming, construction, cooking, animal care, and marine life (esp. sailing). I absolutely love learning new skills.
I'm well-traveled and enjoy living in a variety of conditions, e.g. backpacked and canoed for multiple weeks. Can cook reasonably well, am generally helpful and hard-working. Particularly good with computers, tech, and machinery if you need any assistance with those kinds of activities.Interests
