Description
Hi folks,
Pronounced ~Tay-sa~, I am a mature and curious Canadian on my WHV in New Zealand until October 2027. My goals are broad and I'm open to exploring many of my interests while sharing your space respectfully and helping out as much as I can.
Some of my hobbies and interests include boating & paddling, horses & animal care, horticulture and apiculture, hiking & camping, and cooking & creating.
I am starting my career in beekeeping and hope to be a sponge to any learning opportunities that come my way! I'm keen to meet warm and fun natured folks while helping out in the kiwi community. ☀️ -
