Hello :)

I am 20 years old, studying Geography at the University of Edinburgh. I took a gap year beforehand, when I spent 7 months working in both retail and hospitality (housekeeping) in my hometown in Perthshire, Scotland.

Also during my gap year, I used Workaway for the first time! I went to Germany for over 3 weeks and volunteered with 4 alpacas, which I loved and would like to work with animals again! The couple I stayed with ran alpaca treks with groups, which I assisted, despite not speaking much German! They also ran a small hostel, which I cleaned each day. I enjoyed this because I met people from a range of countries, including Iran and Ukraine.

During summer 2023, I spent 6 weeks staying with a couple in Upper Austria. I really enjoyed it and the work was very varied. I helped to look after their goats, sheep and donkeys, and also helped with woodwork to build a new patio. This included going on 20km walks with the donkeys over the hills, which was an amazing experience!

I love to meet new people from different cultures, travelling to less well known areas and not just the usual "tourist destinations", and I hope that Workaway will help to continue to fulfill that.

I volunteered for over a year with the Scottish Wildlife Trust, where I had a range of duties including interacting with visitors, creating resources for children and filling up bird feeders. The main joy of being there was that between March and August, I was able to view osprey chicks, one of the only places in the UK where it is possible!

I love animals in general and cared for my rabbit named Bertie (in my profile picture!) for 8 years. For someone so small he was quite a character and even came on holidays with us!

I enjoy music, and have played the saxophone for 8 years. After joining university, I joined a big wind band, and am going on a tour to York in England in early June.

If you have any questions please let me know and we can arrange a Skype or WhatsApp chat.

Was könntest du arbeiten?

- Working in housekeeping at a world renowned resort hotel has taught me how to clean effectively and time efficiently to a high standard and attention to detail. I am happy to assist with household chores.

- Working within a close-knit team in a local delicatessen specialising in Scottish produce, I have learned that flexibility is key. My role is very varied, including everything from minding the till to restocking the shop floor, serving and advising customers according to their tastes and making takeaway coffees. It was particularly busy around Christmas, demonstrating that I can handle pressure and thinking on my feet! It has stressed the importance to me of shopping local, supporting local businesses.

- I have a passion for photography, particularly wildlife photography. I have enclosed a few of my favourites in my gallery. I'd be delighted to be your resident wildlife photographer!

- I enjoy cooking, but especially baking and would be happy to help out in the kitchen. I'm also a good washer-upper! :)

- I have played the saxophone for many years, both solo and within jazz bands.

- I am calm, caring and conscientious, working well within a team as well as individually.

- I have passed my driving test.
