  • Description

    Hi I’m Becky. I’ve lived in the UK all my life having moved around Dorset, Wiltshire, Hampshire and have spent some time living in Fife, Scotland. Covid has helped me re-evaluate a few things and I have realised life is far too short to settle in one place. I am keen for adventure, incredibly hard working, love animals and have some animal care experience. I love history, in particular a good castle, love the outdoors and spending as much time as possible surrounded by nature and wildlife. I’m not a bad cook, have painting and decorating experience and I’m also a writer with editorial and marketing experience. I am ideally looking for a longer stay with as many hours work needed as possible. If there are some pets and also some wild swimming spots nearby then count me in! I have some home schooling experience having been teaching my goddaughter history and I've also run groups before including a book club and a creative writing group.

  • More details about your skills

    I’ve got marketing and editorial experience, copy writing, blog, press and magazine writing. I’m good with a paintbrush (decorating, not art!) and love working with animals. I’m fairly fit and healthy so like to get into something active. I’ve previously worked on a rare breeds farm and have also spent time working in the heritage industry for English Heritage. I have also worked in mental health and have a TEFL qualification and a journalism diploma. Through Workaway, I have also gained some invaluable gardening experience!

  • What else ...

    I'm a huge animal lover and I do a lot of creative writing from short stories to poems and have a novel on the go as well. I used to run a creative writing group so this is something I could perhaps bring to the table. I play the guitar, but very badly and love country music. I am interested in archaeology and anything to do with the Tudors. I'm also very good with children as I have two young god children and have helped to home school one of them. I love being out and about in nature and also enjoy wild swimming.
