Description

Greetings!
My name is Meredith, and I am 26 and have been traveling for about 1.5 years now. Some of my passions include spending time outside (backpacking, swimming, biking), singing, playing music, spending time with interesting people and exploring new places. In the winter of 2023 I hiked the Camino de Santiago (Frances) which was my first time taking a trip independently. Since 2024 I've been traveling first in New Zealand for a year, then Vietnam for 1.5 months and now Australia for probably at least another year.
Please reach out with any interest or questions you may have, and I look forward to seeing where this workaway journey takes me!

Plus de détails sur les langues qui m'intéressent
I took Mandarin Chinese since from age 12-19 so I have a solid foundation in the language. I haven't had the opportunity to practice much since I stopped taking it, but would be really excited to practice again. I spent just over a month in Spain during the Camino de Santiago, and a few weeks in Barcelona after. I am very interested in improving my Spanish competency throughout my life. I'm also a native English speaker so I would be excited to teach English if that's something thats needed.

Quelles sont vos compétences ?

I have worked extensively in outdoor education settings including summer camps, science camps and leading backcountry trips with children. I've worked as a preschool teacher, and canoe shack manager as well. These occupational experiences have honed my childcare, communication, outdoor leadership, interpersonal and conflict management skills. Additionally, I have done some woodworking in the past, making a canoe paddle and a trunk. The same program that allowed me to develop my woodworking skills, also granted me the opportunity to live with a homesteader for 3 weeks, helping her in the daily chores of maintaining the garden, milking goats, cooking and tanning hides (among other things).
I have also worked in the service industry, throughout college I worked at concessions at hockey games, preparing and serving food to all of the eager game watchers. My most unique job so far to date however, has been a night shift wholesale packer at a bread company. These jobs allowed me to advance my organizational skills, along with working under pressure.
Through my various occupational experiences thus far, I have become able to be flexible and work well with a variety of different people. I am very open to learning new skills and am excited by all opportunities that this site may offer. If I seem like a good fit for what you're looking for, please don't hesitate to reach out!

Autres infos...

I was in acapella groups throughout my schooling career (from middle school through college) so singing has always been a big passion of mine. I also play the ukulele and drums. Another love of mine is art, I really enjoy watercolor and sketching. I also love podcasts a lot, some of my favorites being A Slight Change of Plans, Ear Hustle, You're Wrong About, and This American Life. I've always been a big fan of boardgames as well, I enjoy Secret Hitler, Bananagrams, and various card games (I also know 1 card trick).
