Description
Hey.
I am a qualified social worker from Ireland and have spent the past year travelling and working all over Australia. I am in Queensland at the moment and have been since March, doing various types of work including 5 months of regional farm work. My plan is to go to South Australia next to carry on my adventures, preferably at the beginning of January.
My work experience is extensive, before coming to Australia I lived in various countries in Africa gaining experience in various projects, including sustainable and eco living, farming, animal care, gardening and horticulture etc. I also have experience teaching and looking after children in various settings both in the home and in schools. I am a bubbly, fun and caring person and am very easy going. Always eager to play my part and make a difference where I can. Looking forward to becoming a part of the next fun and amazing project out there waiting for me.

Ash was an amazing, caring & 'no fuss' volunteer with awareness & maturity beyond her years.

She was happy to help as & where needed which included teaching and lots of general activities at the kids house.

We are very thankful to have had Ash volunteer with us & hopefully we'll see her again on her next African adventure

The kids in the home and the village kids are the most happy… read more
