  • Description

    Hi! We are a couple from the UK looking to find a rewarding and fun workway experience. This is our first time using this site after being recommended by a friend who has loved it! We are not strangers to getting stuck in and meeting new people and it seems like the perfect way for us to see places and have experiences we would not of been able to otherwise.

    A bit about us. I (Amy) am 29 and Ollie is 31. After I came out to Australia a few years ago to do my working holiday visa I fell in love with the country and knew I wanted to show Ollie. So here we are and we have been travelling round Australia for a year together now, starting from South WA all the way up, across the Northern Territory and down the East coast. We love being out in nature, trying new things and are both pretty creative when it comes to our hobbies. While on our travels we have worked in a wide range of areas including on vineyards, a macadamia farm, in hospitality, a cleaner and as a jewellery polisher. So any tasks you need help with we are happy to get stuck in!

    Neither of us are fussy when it comes to food, we have no issues adapting to whatever your diet is and happy to help cook. We are clean and respectful of any house rules, loveeee animals and are both non smokers.

    More details about my language interests
    I know no other languages well but have started learning basic spanish. Ollie is on 1000 days on duolingo for German. I took some classes in Aruba to learn the native language of Papiamento but again at a very basic level. So we are both always up for learning something new yet this is not essential.

  • More details about your skills

    Working with animals.
    We both grew up in the countryside around animals. Ollie had chickens, cats and shared the bottom of the garden with a friendly horse and 2 mischiveous donekys. Amy spend 3 months in the carribean taking care of donkeys and lived at an owl sancturay for a year.

    Working outdoors.
    Both of us have worked at vineyards in Margaret river. Amy worked at a macadamia plantation in QLD. Ollie also grew up with his grandad who was an influencial in creating new variation of flowers and grew his own vegatables so he has some basic knowlege around this.

    Creative pursuits.
    We both various exploring our artistic sides. Ollie is a trainee jeweler, plays guitar and draws. Amy also loves to draw and paint, embroidery and giving new crafts a go. She has also worked in prop making and prosthetics so has basic knowledge of tools.
    So if you have any paintng or similar that needs doing we would be more than up for that.

    Ollie is also a great cook! Amy is good at stirring things.
