Heading to Adelaide for work and looking for a host to build a local connection & friend and have a base for a short stay with the potential for return visits.

Beschreibung

I am 33 and grew up in south-east England, in a busy rural area on 6 acres. I studied history at university. I am currently based in Tasmania helping at my friends’ place who I met through Workaway 5 years ago but heading to South Australia for work in Adelaide and looking to form some connections through Workaway. I’ve got a huge amount out of it over the years and find it a great way to make friends, learn, undertake meaningful work, and have fun.

My last job was working for a conservation charity for 10 months in Scotland largely doing practical tasks on a nature reserve & some wildlife surveying.

In the summer of 2024 I was a volunteer in Iceland with the government's Environment Agency: focused on maintaining and laying natural footpaths and hiking trails, both using timber and stone. The rest of that year I was based in southern England subcontracting as a fencer's mate and doing tree work (assisting arborists with tree removals, as well as forestry).

I returned to England in September 2023 after travelling continuously for 6 years in New Zealand, Australia, and Canada. In NZ I worked in the kiwi fruit industry for 3-4 months each year and helped a small-scale firewood business & a family-run sawmill. In Australia I worked for a large-scale hops producer for a few seasons and in Canada I worked a summer in a craft brewery. Aside from these paid jobs most of my time in each country was spent staying with hosts via WWOOF & workaway at rural, often remote properties undertaking a variety of tasks - including firewood processing, fencing, construction, tending to animals, gardening, landscape projects, handy-man jobs and more.

Overall I've stayed with 60+ hosts and enjoy learning about off-grid set-ups, people trying to grow or harvest their own food, and living rurally in wild places. In free time I enjoy staying active, going exploring, hiking, running, working out, or enjoying a good book.

Was könntest du arbeiten?

Don't have a trade but have some experience of conservation, arboriculture, horticulture and agriculture. Main strength is being a good grunt but can use most tools and if provided with a bit of training and decent instructions make a good go of most jobs if I haven't already done something similar.

Jobs that I've enjoyed in the past: firewood, digging holes, brush cutting, chainsaw work, tending fires, track clearing, shifting rocks/building rock steps/rock walls, landscape projects, scything, planting trees, fencing, construction (especially post & beam/timber-framing), carpentry, wooden bench tops, and anything that involves a bit of movement and gets the muscles working.

Have experience driving ATVs/quad-bikes, bobcat, front-end loader, snowmobile, small tractors, and a few old rusty 4WD trucks that have been resigned to life on a farm.
