    Howdy,

    I'm Pip. I'm a dabbler. I like being outside, the satisfaction that comes from hard manual labour, and asking questions. I've just finished a degree in economics and psychology so I'm taking atrip to europe to visit some fmaily ad adventure before beginning my job in April. I'm fond of a lot of different things and I am quite curious about the world.

    I like doing workaways because when I travel to new places and really BE there. I want to be part of local systems and actively participate in the places that I visit rather than just pass through. I also like to learn about different ways of farming because I only have experience with one certain kind of farming.

    I spend the first half of my summers in Canada planting trees, and the second half working on a farm. Planting trees in Canada is hard piece-work (we are paid per tree that we plant) that involves bending over 2,000-2,500 times per day in all terrains, weather, and moods. It sounds a bit crazy but that's what it is. I guess you could say I have a weird interest and knack for hard work.

    Working on the farm I coordinate farm camps, which means teaching kids how to harvest potatoes, whittle spoons and cook pizza in a wood fire oven, among other fun things. I love that on the farm there's a motley crew of people that work there, and we make do with what we have. Everyone has to play many roles, but we're all part of something that I think we, dare I say, believe in!

    These days, I'm finding loads of happiness in the simple things in life; an early coffee, the dew that tickles my toes on mornings, a really cold swim, learning something that makes me look at the world a little differently, or a good chat.

  • Quais são suas habilidades?

    I've been lucky to have grown up spending lots of time outside (hiking, canoeing, rock climbing, skiing), I feel very comfortable in the outdoors. I love to teach what I know about being outside, whether it be tricks on how to stay warm or a tasty mushroom to look out for, I'm keen to share what knowledge I have.

    I really love to cook, making meals for other and cooking with people is one of my favourite parts of the day. And, of course, I love eating good food too. I play the fiddle and am learning the guitar so I'm quite eager to sit play with people.

    I speak English fluently and have had experience teaching in other subjects (never a language) but I would be interested in trying. I am also proficient in French and super eager to speak with anyone.

    Other than that... I love working in teams but I am also quite self motivated so I can work alone too. I can provide references too!
