Wild About Lapland — Finland

Winter 2023–24

Guided northern lights and winter tours in sub-zero conditions. Most of the job was managing uncertainty—weather, people, expectations—and keeping things steady when nothing was guaranteed.

La Table de la Neige — Hakuba, Japan

Winter 2025–26

Worked grill and plating in a fine-dining kitchen. High volume, constant pressure, and no room for mistakes. Built a foundation in basic kitchen techniques and learned how much consistency matters when everything moves fast.

One Way Campers — Sydney, Australia

Early 2025

Built out camper vans from scratch—insulation, wiring, interiors. Early days were messy: sourcing parts, fixing mistakes, figuring things out as we went, including marketing and advertising to get the vans rented.

Mas de Daumas Gassac — France

Harvest 2023 & 2024

Worked the grape harvest and cellar. Early mornings, long days, repetitive work. Everything depended on timing—weather, ripeness, and decisions that couldn’t be undone.
