My next destination:
Croatia - from May 2024 until Jul 2024 View allDescription
Hello my name is Samantha and I am almost 22 years old.
I love ❤️ to travel and explored some parts of France and Sweden with my parents when I was a teenager ✈️ Now I am wanting to travel again but as a young adult. At the moment I am in Bulgaria and I head to Croatia next week. I have an EU passport.
My passions are animals 🐶🐎🦔🐷🐸 and the outdoors 😊
I love all animals especially dogs 🐶 We owned large dogs, a Rhodesian ridgeback and a Labrador as a family. I have done the Blackwood Small Animal Certification course and also some dog grooming.
I have done THREE workaways so far. The first was for six weeks at a plant 🌱 nursery where I learnt a lot about seedlings, re-potting 🪴 fertilizing and planting. I also helped with general gardening and clearing. The second one was in the hospitality industry at a backpackers for six weeks. I worked at the reception and helped out at the bar and with guests. I also have waitressing experience from my teenage years.
The last workaway was a Bee 🐝 farm. Please read my lovely review from them on my profile. I also helped with the planting of many different kinds of vegetables on this workaway.
Words to describe me are enthusiastic, hard working, and energetic 😊
I am doing a workaway at a dog 🐶 rescue in Croatia 🇭🇷 for five weeks which will be finished at the beginning of JULY. I am then looking for other workaways after this until the end of 2024. I would like to explore parts of Croatia🇭🇷 , Ireland🇮🇪, Slovenia🇸🇮, Germany 🇩🇪and France 🇫🇷 with Workaways.
I am so excited for this wonderful experience 🎉Interests

I have a deep love for animals, great and small. I adore dogs and cats. I am a qualified dog groomer.
I have spent lots of time outdoors. I have worked in gardens, cleared, planted, fixed fences and painted walls. At the nursery we did repotting and working with seedlings.
I have experience working with people as I've worked as a bar lady and worked in restaurants before, so I can connect and engage with people. I have waitressed in many places, sometimes in a very busy restaurant.
I have done THREE workaways and have a lovely reference 😀

I spent 5 weeks working with Anja and Pieter, although I could have stayed for many more months.
I had such a warm welcome from the dogs and Anja and Pieter. I especially loved working with Anja in the vegetable gardens, and nursery. Anja is so full of knowledge. I thought it was very interesting how she runs her irrigation… read more
