Description

Hi!
I am Tem, from Brisbane, Australia! I contributed to 5 different workaways in 2023 and now I am addicted! I have always loved to volunteer and try out new jobs and roles. It started with volunteering at music festivals in Australia. I love to be a part of a vommunity and helping people achieve their goals and dreams.
I am qualified as a veterinary nurse and have 6 years of experience. I have excellent skills in reception, cleaning and animal handling/knowledge.
As a workawayer I have done roles that include helping with a dog rescue, helping with setting up a festival, reception and check in at a hostel, repair work at a campsite and gardening work. I learnt many new skills and I would love to expand more on these and also take on some new challenges. Some of the things I did at these various workaways was making cages and encloures for dogs, wiring lights for a festival, sanding and painting old houses, and setting up some taps for campsites. I thrive on having a purpose and a goal to achieve.
I got to spend lots of time in other peoples gardens, weeding and planting new things and cooking wonderful meals from the harvets! I got to make jam fir the first time ever - was at absolute hit at the campsite! And make plum crumble from the fruit trees in one workaway.
I will be beginning my travels in 2024 in Scotland, I have a current UK youth Mobility Visa that will last until the end of the year.
I look forward to connecting with new hosts and workawayers.

More details about your skills

I love trying new things. I have worked in a few varying jobs, between veterinary nursing, bartending, reception, horticulture, pet sitting, sales and being a cashier I am always searching for something that is hands on. I have done the most in veterinary nursing, working between general practise, specialist medicine and emergency I am very passionate about animal care and welfare. Recently I have done a lot of volunteering at festivals in Australia. I worked with the garbage and recycling crew, managed the glamping and ran internal traffic.
After my time working in a nursery I have always maintained a garden and I am trying to broaden my knowledge on permaculture.
My first workaway I helped building putdoor enclosures for Rescue dogs in Valencia Spain, using a variety of materials and tools.
My second workaway I did weeding, grass trimming, cooking, cleaning and garden maintenance on Mallorca.
My third workaway I assisted with the set up of a festival in the south of France. I did grass trimming, assisted with building dry toilets, assisted with wiring lights, assisted building a childrens area, setting up tents and creating signs as well as helping in the communal kitchen/cleaning.
I like to always bring my sense of humour with me to any situation.
