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

Descrição

Hello!

Having lived a more or less sedentary life in Toronto for the past three years, I've set off on an endless round the world adventure through North and South America, Eastern Europe, the U.K., and now Asia.

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.

More recently I've volunteered on a farm in Massachusetts, a construction site in Puerto Rico, an eco-lodge in Costa Rica, and a campsite in Slovakia, to name a few of many gigs and places. It's been great fun and I can't wait for more opportunities to learn and make myself useful!

Quais são suas habilidades?

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).
