Description

Hello and thanks for stopping by! :)

I currently live in Toronto and work in the technology space. I have used this platform to do a workaway on a farm in Hawaii, and another one in Colorado. I have also done housesitting/petsitting for some hosts in Austin through TrustedHousesitters. Looking forward to my next one!

Here’s how I usually spend my time:
- Dancing: I’m trained in salsa, hip hop, Bollywood, Indian semi-classical, and love learning new forms of dance/movement
- Playing the piano: I’m a beginner at the theory but if a song is stuck in my head, I will spend hours trying to work it out on the keys!
- Making tea: My sister and I do a tea-hour every morning and evening where we ditch our devices, walk out into nature with our teapot, and just connect
- Spiritual practices: journaling, intention setting, seeking to understand myself better
- Creative projects: painting, crafts, DIY, decorating
- Caring for my indoor plants and some herbs like parsley, chives, and tulsi
- Reading in the community park
- Talking to my French-English language exchange partner to learn the French language and culture

My background:
Growing up mostly in India, I have cultivated an appreciation for communal living, sharing food, simplicity, living in a sustainable manner, and building personal connections. I’ve experienced a multicultural childhood, having lived in the UK for 3 years, and moving around different parts of India (encountering varied languages, food, and ways of living).

During college, I set up an NGO to work with underprivileged/orphaned children and created a volunteer program to include activities like – teaching English, playing games, conducting workshops, etc. I love being around children and drawing energy from their zest for life.

Currently I am 6 years into my career in AI, re-prioritizing certain aspects of life, and taking some time off for self-care.

My values:
I value creating a life that is untangled from big corporate chains – consuming less, buying items only second hand or locally, and participating in Toronto's gift economy group. I believe that we should be respectful of our surrounding environment and live as regeneratively as possible. Equality in all aspects (social, economic, political) is important to me.

I’m looking for:
An experience where I can restore my connection with nature, with myself, and with humans.

Quelles sont vos compétences ?

I’m a quick and enthusiastic learner, eager to get my hands dirty in some good labor work! I’ve developed skills in farming/permaculture/eco-projects from my previous workaway experiences and am curious to keep learning. I love caring for my plants and will translate the same love and care towards your space as well. I’m good at organizing around the house too. I have had cats in the past - LOVE spending time with them and can care for them.
