Travelling
Description

I am a very curious and open person! I love new experiences and feed off of interactions with new people as well as my long-term relationship. I feel most alive when I am outside, moving my body in some way (hiking, skiing, surfing, yoga, biking), creating and consuming art, and connecting with people. I am a seeker of adventures and always open to a spontaneous plan. I love to laugh and goof around, while also connecting on a deeper level to those that I meet.

More details about your skills

I studied Psychology at university and hold a Master’s degree in Social Work. I have experience working in a variety of settings, including schools, law offices, medical offices, and outpatient mental health, where I worked as a therapist for individuals ages 5 to 45 and supported people in accessing resources such as housing, healthcare, and food.

I have also worked for an outdoor travel company for teenagers, leading groups of 10–12 participants on two-week hiking and adventure trips. In addition, I have extensive childcare experience, including babysitting children of various ages and full-time nannying for a family with a 1 and 3-year-old.

My background also includes working in hostels, where I cooked, cleaned, greeted guests, and bartended. I am a creative and active person, with a 200-hour yoga teacher certification and coursework in photography. I am a quick learner, enjoy new challenges, and have some experience teaching English.

I spent a lot of time outside … read more
