I love to cook, read, ramble and birdwatch. I've also got a sketchbook, somewhere, and I'm determined to take up my colour pencils again... I want to spend less time online watching the world go nuts

Descripción

Hello!

Having lived a more or less sedentary life in Toronto for the past three years, I'm about to set off on a wild and crazy adventure through the Americas and beyond. My plan is South. I guess I'll fill in the details as I go. What could possibly go wrong? There's a lot out there I'm excited to see: New England, Appalachia, Sloss Furnaces, the Big Thicket, Death Valley, NoNoCal, the Craters of the Moon... If I'm able to see even one of these I'll be stoked.

I love books (perhaps too much - they tend to take up more space in my backpack than clothes) and I like writing - or at least planning out stories that I one day hope to write... I enjoy watching films and I never go anywhere without my external hard drive, which is chockablock with movies.

I enjoy cooking and filling in my scrappy cookbook (mostly with vegetarian recipes), and I love foraging and using fresh ingredients. I've a whole lot of room for improvement here.

I've previously Wwoofed on a small farm west of Hobart and at a wildlife sanctuary on Tasmania's east coast, both of which were great fun. For six months in 2017 my partner and I traveled through Europe and Morocco, where we volunteered on farms, gardens and B&Bs using a couples account. I'm very glad to say we had wonderful experiences in each and every place! From July to November of 2019 I Workawayed my way through England, Scotland and Ireland, mostly helping out with cooking, cleaning, gardening and dog walking on smaller properties.

Que habilidades tienes?

Having volunteered at B&Bs in Estonia and Germany, I am accustomed to shift work and a busy schedule of cleaning, bed-making and meal preparation. I helped to renovate a cottage outside of Krakow, which involved quite a bit of sanding, as well as mixing and applying a great deal of cob. I also chopped wood, milked goats and weeded dandelions. In the U.K. I helped out at a garden in Tring by insulating a greenhouse, constructing a hotbed and taking care of the family's lovely cat (he was very old and took lots of medicine!) In Andalusia I shovelled a whole hill's worth of horse poop (...not exactly a skill, but I'd be willing to do it again) and helped to construct a chicken coop. I took care of a great many dogs throughout England, Scotland and Ireland, including two surprisingly lazy lurchers in Devon, a disabled blue heeler in County Clare, a nervous pair of Cocker Spaniels in the Scottish Borders and an enormous Alsatian in Sherwood Forest (my favourite, though he was a terror to walk).
