Description

Hi hi!

My name is Rosie and I grew up just outside Toronto, Canada. I started my solo backpacking journey in 2022 and am still going strong!

A bit about me:

- I studied English Literature, worked in book publishing, and read as much as possible
- I am an TEFL certified English teacher and work with students online
- I am passionate about yoga, meditation, and community
- I have travelled to over 20 countries (and counting!)
- I grew up in a bicultural, bilingual household and speak Spanish
- I have been vegetarian for the past 14 years and love to be inventive in the kitchen

I value seeking discomfort and love trying new things. I can't wait to share my journey with you!

More details about your skills

I have worked on many permaculture farms and have fallen in love with sustainable, rural living. I have experience watering, weeding, mulching, pruning, potting, transplanting, harvesting, preparing soil beds, and general maintenance in gardens and orchards. I likewise have assisted in several art and construction projects, from mosaic tiling and glass painting to adobe house-building. I believe in dreaming big and being as crafty, thrifty, and inventive as possible.

I am also a TEFL certified English teacher and have taught students (elementary to university) in the subjects of language, grammar, and writing. I have previously taught as an ESL teacher at an all-boys school and as a University Teaching Assistant for literature undergraduates. I love working with students of all ages and empowering them to achieve their goals. Currently, I work remotely as a writing teacher!

Before travelling—and while studying—I spent many years in hospitality (customer service in restaurants & retail). Working with people and recognizing their needs has become my strong suit.

But, perhaps, the most important *skill* I have is being positive and open - to ideas, ways of living, and new experiences.
