Description
I am focusing on self improvements and constant development. Thus, I like to meditate, do yoga, learn new languages, and pick up on some new courses. And as much as I can growth by myself, nothing will give me so many possibilities as being in touch with other people.

That's why I became a teacher and I travel so much. I have lived in six countries, and I'm excited that New Zealand will become my seventh one!

More details about your skills
I am a triple graduate with interdisciplinary background (engineering, art, climate change, research). Additionally, I have worked in various jobs - from corporation offices, thru museums and galleries, thru event management, thru NGOs and students associations, thru animal sanctuaries, to baby sitting and housekeeping.

I love problem-solving, as I believe every problem has a solution; so every challenge is just a matter of perspective and right approach. Tell me what kind of outcome you need or expect, and I will deliver. You can trust me :)

Considering farm life, I have experience with feeding (eg. pipette & bottle feeding) and cleaning young farm animals. That includes injured and sick animals. Therefore, multiple times I also helped with activities like bandaging and medicating of ill ones. I have assisted at pregnancies, births, as well as animals deaths, and burials. I am a compassionate carer for all living creatures, as I took care for cows, goats, sheep, horses, possums, hedgehogs, various birds, alpacas and lamas, dogs, cats, and rabbits.
Moreover, I gained experience with weeding, pruning & trimming, spraying, and fruit picking of various trees and shrubs. I have built and repaired many sheds. I am capable of driving any car, van, UTV, and using the majority of tools.

Tess and Carl are very kind people. The atmosphere in the house is relaxed and calm. Plus joyful and energetic when the boys are around <3
Their proposition was for me to work for 3h / 5 days, with room and breakfast provided (without other meals). That was fair and worked well with my online job.
Although, I missed the opportunity to connect… read more

Becky and Glen are amazing people! They hosted me for around two weeks, and we had a superb time together. I was their first workawayer but they are naturals! They are both warm, easy going, minded and fun people.
It was great to meet their friends and hear about their adventures, as well as just chill on the sofa after work.
I took care of… read more

I had a wonderful time with the family of Amy, Greg, Genie and Alba <3 They are all very interesting and creative! It was rather intense and fast pace when everybody was home, which was really exciting. The girls are really mature & independent, and I had an amazing time hanging out with them in town or beach.
I mostly focused on helping around… read more

Stas was a very welcome addition to our busy household. She was generous and patient with our children, who loved spending time with her. She completed her tasks and made herself useful wherever she could without us having to ask which was noticed and much appreciated. Good luck in the future, Stas, if you find yourself back in Nelson we would… read more

Stas is a great asset and an amazing helper. Her willingness to assist in any tasks, and learn about our life here, was refreshing.
Apart from weeding heavily infested areas, she helped us transform some seats and benches into amazing "welcoming" resting places from where we can sit and remember her input to the creation. She showed us her… read more

At first, I kind of couldn't believe all the lovely feedback about this place. But yeah, no, it's all true.
I had an amazing time with Lesley and Len. They are kind and beautiful souls, that made me feel like I'm home. They did their best to make sure that I'm always comfortable, safe, have enough to eat (as a vegan), and can do my online work.… read more

My time with Anthea and her boy was very special. She helped me out when my previous host turned out to be abusive, and I am so grateful that she took me in!
I had the great opportunity to spend a lot of time with her sons, Rami and Atti , as they had holidays at that time, and every day was a blast! These guys are the cutest, very kind and super… read more

It was a pleasure to have Stas stay with us. As a digital nomad Stas was awake early doing her online work and then got to and put her energy into helping us with finishing the wicking beds in the Polytunnel, collecting Alpaca manure or cooking meals and cleaning. After finishing her nightly online work she would join us for games and… read more

Toni and David are the nicest folks I've met in Australia. They are kind, open, calm, understanding - amazing! I had really good time staying with them, and truly hope to come back! Their place is beautiful, and there are great places to explore in Canberra and its surroundings.
My responsibilities included taking care of plant nursery,… read more

My time with Stephen was short, but intense one. He did his best to support me, and to make my stay chill & interesting. I felt great with his sons, neighbors and family - everyone was very welcoming and kind! It was a pleasure to explore the farm & animals, and help out in the garden!
I could continue my online job without problems, which was a… read more

Stas is a really lovely and interesting person to have around. She was great with my two boys and they loved talking,playing and swimming with her. She made us some delicious vegan food and was eager to help around the house and farm. Stas did her own work online which was no problem for us at all. We would highly recommend her and would welcome… read more
