Descripción

Hi!
I am Mary Elizabeth, or most commonly, MEW (my initials).

I live in Alaska, and I find a thrill in exploring new places and meeting new people. The concept of 'home' to me is wherever I am. It's always fascinating to me how people from such different cultures can be so different; yet, so alike.

My biggest passion in life is being outside and recreating. Skiing, hiking, climbing, paddling, and am an *aspiring surfer*.

Work wise, I enjoy getting my hands dirty and am very 'comfortable with being uncomfortable'. Whether that be digging out a tent in the winter;lugging building equipment in the jungle heat, or trudging through mud while alone in the woods for days on end; I find a joy in the simplicity of having only what you need while immersed in nature.

I have worked on several farms, summers commercial fishing on boats, as well as many years in the hospitality business. I have also worked with kids in my former years from camp counseling as well as volunteer teaching and coaching.

Living wise, I have lived off grid in a yurt year around in Alaska-chop wood , carry water life- jungle huts for months with fire cooking and bug net bedding, as well as out of a tent in the wilderness for various trips and adventures. So, I am pretty adaptable and conservative with resources.

I dabble in a variety of things and can enjoy and afternoon doing anything from seeing an art show, to swimming, to cooking up a feast,to live music, to just lounging with a good book. Life is short, yet the world is wide!

Algo más...

What else.....I like a good sense of humor!
I've done seasonal work for many years and have become a custom to living with new people in a shared space as well as being on my own. I've also lived with a handful of host families anywhere from a few weeks to six months while traveling. I always feel honored to be welcomed into someone's home and respect how they live.
