Maddy:
I am very experienced spending time in nature. The outdoors is my all time favourite place to be, and I am not shy of a remote, off the grid placement.I have a wide range of skills, most recently office admin. During university I worked catching invasive bullfrogs for a conservation effort and as a vet assistant at an animal hospital. I love animals, especially dogs. I come with unlimited hiking stamina, including kickboxing and lifting skills to match. I enjoy cooking tasty vegetarian meals and singing. I graduated with a bachelors of biology with distinction at the University of Victoria.
Trevor:
I work as a machine operator at a forestry orchard. Previous jobs include: Junior environmental consultant, botanist and research assistant, Landscaper, BC park's maintenance, and Carpenter's assistant. I love sports and hope to be able to ski, surf, train jiu jitsu, and play disc golf while I am travelling.Age
