Description
I'm Aidan, I am a Texan and a climate scientist that adores nature and all sorts of good times. I have an easygoing yet outgoing nature that allows me to go with the flow, appreciate every moment, and meet many fantastic people both while traveling and at home! I never shy away from learning a new skill or trade, or putting my expertise and experience to good use. (I am particularly excited about learning about carpentry and stone working!)
I'm Helena, I’m native to DC and Virginia and a fresh alum from Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts. With a Bachelor’s in English, I’m currently seeking to go into the nexus between education and media, but right now I’m really excited about traveling where I’ve never been before. I grew up on a horse breeding farm in Virginia, so I’m super familiar with the demands of horse care, farm labor, and family-run businesses. I'm great at housework as I also grew up in a busy household. I love being outdoors, playing with any and all creatures, and learning new things.

More details about your skills
Aidan: Currently I am finishing up my Masters in Geosciences program at The University of Massachusetts where I work as a climate/Earth scientist and researcher. During the masters I taught 2 Geology lab classes, operated a geochemical lab and learned a lot about the research process. Prior to this, I have worked as a floor lead in a high volume upscale retail setting, a kennel technician/receptionist at a Dog daycare and boarding facility for 4 years, and many odd weekend projects and jobs where I have picked up skills such as roofing, garden work and many more that I am more than happy to use and share.

What else ...
Aidan: Some of my favorite hobbies include snowboarding, surfing and playing just about any sport (American football, basketball and baseball are my favorites)! When I can't be outside and active, I appreciate a good book, watching movies or hanging out with friends.
