Descripción

**Currently at home in Lake Louise, Alberta but open to short/medium term Workaways in Alberta and British Columbia until the end of the year!**

Hi all!! My name is Marin, nice to meet you!

I grew up exploring the Canadian Rockies and was lucky enough to have gone on road trips around western Canada and the USA. This upbringing has left me with a burning passion for traveling. Now that I am older and on my own, my horizons have opened up much more!! I am excited to explore overseas and experience many different cultures and lifestyles!

I work seasonally in the rockies for Parks Canada and love the time I get to spend hiking and exploring outdoors. In the off season, I try to go abroad and have working holiday experiences in new countries! Most recently, I lived in Japan for 6 months working in a traditional guesthouse and studied Japanese! Before that I spent many months abroad roadtripping and helping with permaculture projects in Australia, and then I explored parts of Southeast Asia!

I am now looking forward to my next adventure overseas! Maybe I can join you? ^^

Here is some of my past work experience and situational exposure so you can know if I am right for your Workaway! That being said, please know that I am very hardworking and adaptable so I can be well suited to any situation or job you put me in!
- I am great with kids and love to spend time with them! I worked for many years as a swim teacher and coach for children ages 4-10. I also babysat often.
- I have experience with all kinds of animals. I am good at caring for and training dogs, I can take care of cats, birds, reptiles, and other kinds of pets. I have also worked in stables with horses (mucking stalls, grooming & tacking) and on hobby farms with cattle.
- I am experienced in customer service jobs, such as hosting in restaurants, greeting and guiding guests at events, educating and monitoring the public in the National Parks, and much more. I enjoy speaking to people and am great at communicating with visitors.
- I've worked multiple food service jobs in all areas including line cook, dishwasher, and waitress.
- I am literate with technology and can help you create a website or manage a social media page.
- I have a good eye for hygiene and have experience with caretaking. I am happy to help clean and/or organize your home!
- I am a certified sailing skipper and love to be on the ocean.
- I am a very strong swimmer and am capable of working in or near water and teaching people how to swim.
- Experienced driver! All kinds of cars, all kinds of conditions and roads.
- Worked lots in the outdoors and I am very wildlife aware.

Only fluent in English, but I'm currently trying to learn Japanese! I am also very interested in learning endangered and/or Indigenous languages if there is ever the opportunity!

Que habilidades tienes?

I have had work experience in all kinds of fields, but am also incredibly adaptable and a quick learner. I currently work in Banff National Park as a ranger, monitoring highways and campgrounds, human-wildlife interactions/conflicts, and taking care of visitors. It is an incredibly quickly changing environment so I am very good at adapting and problem solving on the go. I am capable of working in a fast paced environment, and am great with customer service. I am patient, and can settle conflicts if ever they arise. For 4 years I worked with my childhood competitive swim team as a coach, and have experience with children from ages 4 to 11. I love kids and get along with them well, as well as being able to communicate complex topics with them in ways they can understand. Specific to this job, I am a very strong swimmer, and have CPR and first aid training as well.
Other jobs I have done in the past include being a stablehand, commercial line cook, waitress and foodrunnner, sales/retail at an antique shop, construction site infrastructure scaler, and working at a trap/clay shooting range.
Non-professional skills I have gained over the years are outdoor/camping expertise, gardening and plant experience, housekeeping/cleaning, and animal care.
