Description
Hello :)
I am a friendly, enthusiastic and open minded woman who loves to travel and try new experiences. I have been in Australia since Oct 2018 and have had many adventures and experiences. I have managed a hostel in QLD, worked with animals, worked as an au pair. Most recently, I have been working in an outback store serving the local indigenous communities 300km outbush from Alice Springs.
I am finally leaving Australia in August and heading back to the Pacific Islands! I love island love and hope to explore and experience all there is to offer on this side of the world.
I love spending time in peaceful settings, experiencing new things and learning new skills. I do not mind getting my hands dirty and am keen to take part in various jobs. I like meeting new people and can generally fit into any environment. I love animals and nature and I strive to be with animals in their natural habitats. I am not a fan of zoos. I have volunteered with the Elephant Nature Park in Thailand, working with a remote hilltribe to educate and encourage them to keep their elephants rather than selling them to tourist agencies. I have also volunteered with the Orangutan Project in Borneo, a true sanctuary whose focus was the animals and rehabilitation, mainly scrubbing cages in the hot jungle!
I love to learn and will ask many questions! I am hardworking and like to do jobs properly, so you can be assured I will do my best at whatever task I am given.

More details about your skills
I have a law and accounting degree and so I will bring an intelligent, organised and hardworking mind to your work away! I used to work in the NHS in England, managing clinical negligence claims, personal injury claims and inquests. My English is very good.
I can cook and can drive manual (although I am not the most confident driver!) - I did a solo three week self drive around Tasmania and had the best time getting my confidence up and seeing the beautiful island.
I was assistant manager of a hostel in Agnes Water, Australia for 2 years and so have learnt the ins and outs of managing a hostel. I have been given some awesome reviews on the YHA website and booking.com!
I have been retail supervisor in a remote outback community store in NT, Australia for 3 years.

Special dietary requirements
I do not like cheese and mayonnaise. I try to eat vegetarian as much as possible but I do fail and eat meat more often than I would like! I have started eating seafood since being in Australia and learning to fish.
