Travel information

I am currently

Description

I'm currently traveling on a gap year. Prior to starting my travels I was a registered nurse in a hospital.

During my free time I can often be found outside. Mostly hiking. I also enjoy gardening and all that comes with it such as cooking and preserving. Until this year I had kept a garden for several years.

I am an avid reader and a lifelong learner. I tend to pick up non-fiction books or classics. This year I am really hoping to increase my language skills, particularly in Spanish and French.

Through my profession and life I have developed a great love for people. I enjoy every opportunity to get to know someones story, as well as different prespectives.

I grew up in a rural area helping my grandparents with their small farm, mostly a veggie garden and poultry. Through this and other life experiences, I have learned how to work independently and using various skills and tools. I'm always seeking opportunities to improve my skills and add more.

More details about your skills

I'm excited for opportunities to learn skills I don't currently have or to build on ones I do. I usually pick up things pretty quick. My profession is a nurse caring for adults in US hospitals. I have had a garden for many years and enjoy preserving the food I have grown. I have experience caring for animals and children. I enjoy cooking and seek out new recipes and techniques to learn with my travels. With guidance from others I have helped with building projects using a variety of tools.
