Description
Hi there!
I am Becky, I am going to be travelling in Australia for the next while with my boyfriend Woody (our profiles are linked). I am English but have spent most of my life living in France, where we spent the last three years on and off travelling.
I love getting to know new people, chatting, spending time in nature, discovering new places, seeing the hidden, out of the way treasures and generally making the most of life :)

I am really interested in finding more ecological and ethical ways of living, and would love to help with related projects! I love being outdoors and enjoy gardening, I would also be interested in working with animals, although I have relatively little experience with anything other than dogs, cats and chickens.

I love art and am always enthusiastic to create things with other people, be it sculptures, murals, films, etc… I enjoy drawing, photography, video making, covering anything I can in glitter, and will almost always have a camera and a sketchbook on me.

I see myself as an enthusiastic, creative person, who is always ready to throw myself into whatever projects are going on! I enjoy working with other people, planning and organising as much as I enjoy getting muddy, making art and philosophising about life the universe and everything :)

More details about your skills
I have volunteered at over 10 different workaways in the UK, Germany, France Australia and New Zealand over the last few years and helped with a variety of projects ranging from arts and crafts (murals and giant lanterns) to cooking and gardening to building, to festival organising. I'm an enthusiastic and fast learner, who's not scared of hard work or getting dirty :)

I spent the last year working for an association, looking after teenagers with behavioural problems on weekends. I have also had a couple of jobs teaching English as a second language to children. I enjoy being around children, and teenagers, and would be happy to do some baby sitting, language teaching, arts and crafts, or generally just hanging out.
I was home educated/unschooled and am super interested in alternative education.

I am usually well organised, good at logical thinking and getting things done. I have coordinated crew two years running for Heff a small yearly festival in the UK, which has been an absolutely amazing experience!

I am always happy to share my love of all things creative, be it photography, sketching or making stop motion videos… Woody and I are currently working on a mini mobile screen printing set up, which we would be happy to share with you!

I enjoy cooking and am always happy to prepare some vegan meals and cakes :)

Staying with Nic was deffinitely one of the best workaways we have been to! Nic is an open, easy going and relaxed person, we felt really at home in his cute house from the start.
When the weather was sunny we spent our mornings in the garden and the food forest path. I really enjoyed the time we spent outdoors in the beautiful valley. Nic lives… read more

We spent ten days at Daniel and Jody's beautiful place. Our mornings were spent gardening and afternoons exploring the river in canoes. The property is lovely, and helping maintain the garden was a pleasure. The work was very fair, what was asked of us was always clear and well organised (in fact you guys are winning the prize for the best… read more

Staying with Mark and Irene is the real rustic, off grid farm experience.
They live on a beautiful hillside, with a big veg garden, ducks and sheep, collect rain water, have a solar cooker, compost toilets… the list goes on :)
The area they live in is great, lots of cute towns, nice people, parties and interesting places to go. (We had our own… read more

We stayed with Kevin, Elizabeth, Noa and Lucien (and the chickens of cause) for 10 peaceful days in July. They were super friendly and hospitable, welcoming us into their family life.
Their lovely house in a very pretty area, surrounded by walnut trees, with lots of rivers and caves to explore near by.
The work was very fair; a couple of hours… read more

We would like to say a huge thank you to Phil for having us and sharing a fantastic time with us in the Aude. He involved us in so much, from introducing us to the many great characters in and around the place, to the many adventures we embarked on. From wandering through magic labyrinths, being humbled by the majestic views on our mountain… read more

Becky and Woody came at a time when we were planning a large event. Howver, due to COVID the event was cancelled. Still, they immediately got stuck into jobs on site from cement work on a water-fowl basin, wood hoardings around water tanks, pond digging, removing old nasty barbed wire, weeding, building a bat house, cooking for the group and much… read more

We where very happy and fortunate to host Becky, Annie Rose, Natan and Woody. Unfortunately only for a weekend. They brought a great energy and we had some good talks and good adventures together. We hope they will come back some day!

It was a pleasure to host Becky and her sister Annie-Rose! We were together for two weeks of fun, work and interesting discussions. I loved the way they brought their creativity to our place, the steady pace of drawing whatever was in front of them on the table every happy morning. Becky is full of good vibes and smiles, Annie Rose has a tender… read more

My sister and I stayed with Gaelle and her family for two lovely weeks. Gaelle is a very friendly, welcoming and open person, we had some really interesting conversations on lots of different topics.

We enjoyed a lot having Becky at our place.
She is a calm and interested woman and we felt comfortable with her around. We had good conversations and walks in the surrounding hills and to sunsets. We learned interesting english words, we have never heard before and she was very keen to improve her german.
She learned really fast and captured how… read more

I stayed with Julius, Janika and family for just over two weeks. They are all really friendly, interesting and knowledgable people (the simplest subjects can turn into scientific debates :) ). I felt included in their wholesome and down to earth family life, and it was a pleasure to spend time with them.
The work was enjoyable (even in the cold)… read more

My sister, a friend and I stayed at the Mühle for two weeks, it is a really interesting place, full of interesting people. It took us a few days to settle in, but after that I felt very at home.
The work was a mixture of odd jobs; fire wood cutting and stacking, some cooking, painting, hole filling, sheep fencing and best of all, painting a large… read more

Loved having Becky onboard with us. She has a bright and positive spirit and is a great Vegan cook. She got involved in what task were going on and added a touches of colour and art all over the ship.

Wow, what to say? I had an amazing time at the chapel! I stayed for two weeks, and my main job was cooking which I really enjoyed, I also helped with some other stuff like cleaning, sorting…

I stayed with Donna for two weeks at a really busy time; working on giant lanterns (and "that giant thing" aka Wordsworth :) ) for Kendal Torchlight Carnival. I really enjoyed the creative side of the work I was doing, the space for artistic input, and of cause the carnival itself was brilliant!
