Description

Hello! I'm Susie, I'm 24 years old and I am travelling around India with my partner, Innes. We have explored Central America together and lived in Canada for 18 months and we're ready for a new adventure!

I am motivated by others and feel uplifted when I am able to both help and learn from the people around me. I am at my happiest with good people, animals and beautiful nature.

I find it easy and enjoyable to adapt to different environments and learn new skills. I have worked with young people, elderly people, those with special needs and culturally diverse groups in the past, and am able to adapt and respect people from all walks of life.

On some previous Workaways and travel adventures, I built up knowledge in self-sustaining farming, permaculture, gardening and animal care. What I don't know I'm keen to learn!

I am TEFL qualified and during my time in Canada I ran an English conversation class for non-English speaking newcomers.

I have a strong interest in the importance of diversity and protecting culture and the environment. I studied history with a focus on minority and indigenous history at university and went on to work at an environmental conservation and indigenous rights NGO which I enjoyed very much.

More details about your skills

I have strong interpersonal skills and enjoy boosting up those around me. My experience working with a range of different types of people has allowed me to be very adaptive to my environment and the people I’m with, while also maintaining integrity. I have worked with children, with people with special needs, elderly people and in a corporate setting.

I have a TEFL qualification and ran an English Conversation class to learners from around the world. I love to teach!!

I worked for an environmental conservation and indigenous rights NGO. We worked with indigenous groups across the globe in promoting their cultural practices that protected the environment. This project was very close to my heart and I am passionate about continuing to develop my skills and uplift others in protecting the environment through their own cultural practices.

On some previous Workaways and travel adventures, I built up knowledge in self-sustaining farming, permaculture, gardening and animal care. A handful of jobs I worked on included; weeding, building fences, chopping wood, driving farm machinery, harvesting nuts, feeding animals and general garden maintenance.

I also love to cook. I worked as a cook in Canada so have developed a range of skills in the kitchen. In addition, as a vegetarian for many years, I have learnt how to create great tasting and filling food that veggies and meat eaters alike can enjoy! I feel comfortable and confident in the kitchen and love cooking for family and friends.

I am also a big music lover. I love to sing, play the piano and the ukulele, and also the intro to piano man by Billy Joel on the harmonica…

I’m a quick learner and ready to take on new challenges.
