Description

Hi! Thanks for giving my page a look!

After starting a career in financial retirement, I decided to take some time off and travel around Europe. So far I’ve been traveling more than seven months and hope to continue my journey throughout 2023! So far I have hiked/walked hundreds of miles, spent time on a dairy farm, helped out gardening on the plot of a 300 year old house, traveled to more than 10 countries, eaten some amazing food, and met the most wonderful people.

I love being outdoors, experiencing new things, working with my hands, meeting new people, challenging myself and petting all the animals. I’m not afraid of the cold (or the humidity) and always give 100% to what I am working on.

In the past, I interned at a Native American reservation, working with their environmental conservation group. I am definitely not a newcomer to being outside and have spent countless hours working in a garden, but also fishing, camping, and hiking.

I love meeting new people, and find that working closely with the land along with others creates collaboration, and a better understanding of intricacies of different cultures.

More details about your skills

I grew up gardening (every day in the summer) and my first real adult job was working for a city doing manual labor outside (weeding, mulching, cleaning up trash, sweeping sidewalks, etc) for eights hours a day. I also intend on a Native American reservation with their environmental conservation group, which worked closely with farmers in the farm land.

I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty, but also can create a really great looking spreadsheet if needed. I find it rewarding and satisfying to see the results of my hard work, especially when doing manual tasks outside.

I am super comfortable around animals (including bees!) and think all animals should be treated with respect. I also absolutely adore dogs, but really any animal I will be friends with!

Absolutely love getting to know people and the things they are passionate about, and learning about different cultures and history. I love learning new things so I like to think I’m a modern renaissance woman, if you just show me how things are done!

What else ...

I’m super interested learning about what other people are passionate about. I find that it inspires me! I also love reading, outdoor activities, history, trying new food and so many other things that help me grow!
