  • Description

    Hey!
    I'm in my mid twenties, currently taking a career break and travelling around Australia.
    I'm passionate about sustainable living, plants, animals, and anything nature related. I love manual work and have experience in landscape gardening, and hope to learn new skills and become better at building and fixing things myself!
    Enjoy a slow pace of life outside of work, eating mostly whole foods, and a few coffees in the morning is essential!

  • More details about your skills

    I have two years experience as a landscape gardener and with some direction have built patios, fences, sheds, and other garden structures, as well as plenty of garden maintenance. I am a hard worker and happy to crack on with anything, with a growing knowledge of specific plant requirements.

    I would love to be involved in growing food using sustainable practices, back home I do a bit of this myself using water from my fish tank to fertilise my limited vegetables and a few houseplants.

    Outside of this I have two years of experience in food safety in London, along with various hospitality jobs. My favourite by far has been the landscape gardening which I want to get back in to so I would love to learn more skills in this area with a workaway stay!

  • What else ...

    I love my sport, particularly cricket (which is what brought me out to Australia initially!) and football (Manchester United fan). Always up for a game of tennis, or just throwing a tennis ball around.
    My main hobby back home is my tropical fish tank - have had tanks since I was 5, very knowledgeable in the area having briefly worked in an aquarium shop, any chance to build or maintain a pond or fish tank would be a dream!
    Enjoy a beer or two in the evening with a game of cards/ board game (monopoly deal the best!)
