Descripción

Hi! I'm recent university graduate and am have been traveling for about 8 months now. I like working in farms and learning about how people farm in different parts of the world. I'm into pretty much anything; outdoor adventures, music making and watching, cooking, performances, games, sports etc. I'm in Siena for two weeks from July 21, and then will be in Greece! I'm looking for farms or boats to volunteer on and happy to meet up with other travelers too! Hit me up!

Que habilidades tienes?

I grew up spending most of my time outside and love to do manual labour in the outdoors. From my studies, to passion projects, I have gained many skills that are beneficial to a farm, and I hope to one day run my own farm. I just graduated from a 5 year program in Bioresource Engineering and agribusiness entrepreneurship at McGill where I gained knowledge and skills related to engineering, design, construction, waste management, farming, water systems, and more!

Related Knowledge and skills:
- knowledge of Canadian crops and management
- some permaculture knowledge
- knowledge of some natural systems and ecosystem functioning
- some mechanical knowledge
- knowledge about some farm business
- farming skills and hard labour skills
- some construction skills including with power tools
- can take care of and am comfortable with many animals (horses, dogs, goats, chickens, pigs, turkeys)
- design and engineering knowledge
- can drive cars and tractors
- can operate various boats
- a little bit of knowledge about bees
- knowledge of some wild edible and medicinal plants in Canada

Experience

- started and am still involved with creation of 1/2 acre pollination meadow on Montreal Island
- managing a permaculture garden

I am using workaway because I am hoping to learn about traditional food systems and historical agriculture practices around the world. Especially if they have a focus on culturally relevant foods that are meant to be grown in that area by people work with the land, rather than against it.

  Dieta especial
  I can't really eat gluten (wheat) or dairy (from cows), but that might be different in other parts of the world. I am also working on becoming less vegetarian, so would be okay with eating some meat.
