Description

Hey! I’m from Niagara Falls, Canada, and just finished my undergrad degree in kinesiology. I recently spent a semester abroad in Oslo, Norway, and that experience really opened me up to how much I love connecting with people, exploring new places, and seeing life from different perspectives. I'm pretty chill by nature — more of an observer than a loud presence — but I’m always up for an adventure, especially if it involves mountains, animals, or good conversations.

I’ve spent three summers tree planting in British Columbia, so I’m used to hard work, early mornings, and being outdoors in all kinds of weather. I love animals (especially dogs), being in nature, and spending time with people who are genuine and open-minded. I’m motivated by meaningful experiences and intentional connections — whether with people, places, or just the small moments in between.

Right now, I’m traveling to reconnect with friends I met during my exchange and to keep exploring Europe through volunteering. I’m excited to contribute wherever I go, meet new people, and experience daily life in a way that feels more intentional and connected.

More details about your skills

I have a solid background in outdoor work, especially from spending three seasons tree planting in British Columbia — a job that taught me persistence, endurance, and how to work hard in different conditions. I’ve also worked for several years at my local café, where I developed strong people skills and enjoyed connecting with the community. Over the years, I’ve done various odd jobs and am happy to help with gardening, painting, dog walking, or general maintenance.

I studied kinesiology, which gave me a good understanding of health and movement. I’m a quick learner, organized, calm under pressure, and comfortable working with both people and animals — especially dogs! I’m hands-on, adaptable, and always eager to contribute and learn new skills.

What else ...

In my free time, I love listening to music, hiking, and exploring new places. Lately, I’ve been really into playing cards — cribbage is my current favorite! I also enjoy making fires and sitting around them, sharing stories or just relaxing. Hanging out with friends, people-watching, climbing, and even sewing are some of the little things that make me happy. I’m always up for trying new experiences and learning new skills along the way.
