Travel information

I am currently

Description

Hi there! I’m Jess, a curious, creative soul from Texas who’s passionate about meaningful experiences and living intentionally. At 18, I moved to Toronto for university, and since then, I’ve explored parts of Canada and grew a love for adventure and simplicity.

I spent 3 months at Yasodhara Ashram in British Columbia, where I cared for chickens, cooked for the community, and offered my skills in hospitality/housekeeping, gardening,and marketing. Most recently, I spent 6 weeks WWOOFing at Mana in Coromandel where I gained even more experience in the kitchen, housekeeping, and working with teams. I’ve also house-sat with a rabbit in the Rockies for six weeks, and watched after a ragdoll cat for 10 weeks in Hamilton through Trusted Housesitters.

I love singing, writing, being in nature, and exploring the mind-body-spirit connection. Travel, to me, is about expanding perspective, embracing growth, and contributing meaningfully. I am not afraid to work and I am detailed oriented, thoughtful, and put my all into everything I do.

Excited to connect!

More details about your skills

I’m a hands-on, adaptable person who genuinely enjoys helping out around the house. Whether that’s cleaning, organizing, gardening, or cooking up a meal. I’m great at decluttering, love bringing order to chaotic pantries and drawers, and find a lot of satisfaction in creating peaceful, functional spaces. I genuinely have fun making beds and organizing!

During my time living and volunteering at an ashram and a retreat center, I cooked plant-based meals for the community, cleaned shared spaces, helped in the garden, and cared for chickens. I’ve also house- and pet-sat in various places, always bringing care, respect, and a strong work ethic.

Professionally, I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography and Digital Media with a minor in Psychology, and years of experience in project management, creative direction, communications, and operations. I’ve worked with brands like Gymshark and Bell Fibe TV, but I’ve found myself finding more meaning in hands-on, everyday tasks that support others and make life a little smoother.

At heart, I’m a creative, grounded, open-minded and dependable person who loves meaningful work, new experiences, and contributing wherever I can.

What else ...

I’m a big fan of long walks, scenic hikes, and spontaneous adventures, especially with good snacks and great views. I love watching documentaries, nerd out about psychology, and I love coming up with business plans and creative strategies.
