Description

I am an adventurous, hardworking and open-minded Welsh girl 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 with an outgoing personality. My passions include animals, wildlife conservation, foraging, sustainability, minimalism, humanitarian issues, books, and community. I love to hike and be in nature at every opportunity. 🏕️🌞💐🌷🌲🌿

This past year, I have learnt so much about myself and developed every skill imaginable. One day, I abandoned my depressing hospitality job and donated all of my posessions except a 65L backpack and my little sidekick, Leo. Leo is a friendly medium-sized Labrador mix. He has one of the softest and most tolerant temperaments of any dog i've ever experienced. He is my rock; we come as a pair! 🐕

Leo came at a time in my life when I needed direction. He sparked my interest in dog training and the complexity of canine behaviour and evolution. I am now studying an online Level 5 RQF Canine Behaviour & Training qualification. I have dedicated hours upon hours to his training, having had him since a puppy. This is not just fancy tricks; this is daily living and regulation, so he can be calm and trusted in ALL situations that many dogs wouldn't, including around small children and farm animals. 1 year on the road has proven he can handle everything thrown his way!! I'm sure you can find a job for him too, whether that be fetching tools, carrying loads (like a mini donkey) or entertaining kids. Bonus: he will fetch your keys if you drop them 😉 He is also neutered, fully vacinated and insured.

I love to exchange and experience culture, customs but mostly the boring day to day, contributing wherever we go. I am not afraid to get stuck in and dirty and am physically fit. Please do not apply gender roles but instead let me try my hand first. I am not restrained to 4-5 hours but instead I work with the flow of what the job needs and will always try to make myself available to contribute.

I am eager to cook for others and exchange dishes. I have no dietary restrictions. I can adapt my diet to vegetarian or vegan, however my dog eats both meat and veg (mainly dry food, so minimal smell or mess :) 🍒
