Description

We are Jade and Hannah, two friends from England embarking on a new adventure travelling around Australia, New Zealand and South East Asia. We are both recent graduates from the University of Reading where we studied Environmental Management together.

We have both worked in a variety of different industries and therefore have a broad skillset between us. I (Jade) previously worked as a bank teller alongside running my own business selling vintage women’s clothing, shoes and handbags which I set up while I was at school. I also have several years of experience in retail, hospitality and housekeeping as well as spending time as an estate agent and even have experience in the British Army. Hannah previously worked as the project coordinator for a social action mentoring programme managing 15 pairs of mentors and student mentees as well as running an Etsy shop selling her artwork so would be eager to engage in art projects. Previously Hannah worked within the retail and hospitality industries in fast-paced environments.

During our previous volunteering experience on a smallholding in Carmarthenshire, Wales we particularly enjoyed meeting new people and getting a glimpse into a different way of living and hope to experience more of that during our time in Australia. Hannah also volunteered in New Zealand and Thailand on sustainability projects and animal sanctuaries whilst travelling solo and has recently spent 6 weeks volunteering in Calais with refugee charities.

We are both very active and enjoy several different sports and hobbies such as hiking, climbing, running and yoga. Hannah is the creative one out of the two of us and often spends her free time drawing and painting. I prefer reading as I enjoy learning new things, having set myself a target of reading 50 books this year and I also enjoy cooking, often trying out new recipes. I would love to share recipes with you and learn how to create your favourite meals or regional dishes.

We both have experience in gardening, land maintenance, DIY and household chores during our previous workaways, and work well either as a team or separately. We are both animal lovers, Hannah has lots of experience in animal care due to growing up surrounded by dogs, cats, rabbits, rats, guinea pigs, fish, the list goes on.. and we would love to get involved in animal care. We also both have experience in social media marketing if you’re seeking help with advertising your farm/workaway etc on social media.
