Description
I am originally from New Zealand but lived in Australia and travelled in Europe for a few years.

Now I am studying a masters degree in France, and plan to travel for internships as part of the masters course. I have arranged the first internship in Gent, Belgium. So I am interested in finding a workaway in or around Gent for between April to July 2024. I will be going to the internship Mon-Fri for 40 hours per week, so that leaves evenings free and weekends to help out around your home and your projects.

After travelling for over 2 years in Europe volunteering along the way through workaway and also wwoof, I have a lot of diverse experiences in different countries. I am able to help out with housekeeping, cooking, gardening, farming, animal care, English language practice (and unfortunately I am still only really fluent in English, but I would like to learn other languages). I can also help with DIY projects, creative projects, and on the computer.

Though I will be busy with the internship and also studying for the masters degree, I believe a balanced life is well lived, so would be happy to make time for different tasks and sharing stories and experiences, if that is your interest. :)

I look forward to hearing from you.

Jean-Luc and Benedictine were really great hosts, so friendly, welcoming, energetic working on their organic farm and helping me to learn French.
They have a lovely farm nearby to forests which are nice for walking or taking the dogs. Work was in the mornings only and afternoons were free to do your own thing 5 days a week, with the weekend free.… read more

I stayed for 3 weeks at Eva's place but could have happily stayed longer since the time flew by so quickly! Eva is such a lovely host that has a contagious positive energy which I felt really inspiring. Her home is a beautiful space with cool vibes, friendly housemates, books, artwork, music, and a focus on wellbeing. I helped with organising… read more

I had a nice time volunteering at Coşku and Ahmet's hostel. They are such friendly welcoming hosts and the hostel they made has a great vibe where you can socialise with travellers and hostel staff, and chill and feel at home too. I stayed for 4 weeks and the time went by so quickly! Work was cleaning the hostel and helping on reception with… read more

What a fantastic place to experience!
Ali is very kind, friendly, and energetic about the food forest project.
I stayed for over 6 weeks and every day the beauty and nature of the place were something new to me. I helped with planting herbs and saplings and preparing the vegetable garden.
I was inspired and feeling refreshed, breathing the fresh… read more

I stayed 2 1/2 weeks at Colm's place and enjoyed the time. The house in Salthill is in a nice location right by the sea so you can have plenty of walks along it, walking his dog Bella who is very playful! It's also a great spot to explore Galway being a short walk from the centre. The work was relatively easy and light, cleaning, tidying, cooking,… read more

I enjoyed my stay at Mike And Elaine's permaculture property. The work was varied and interesting and I learnt a lot about life and the environment in rural Portugal. Mike and Elaine made a good effort in helping me see the attractions in the area, Coimbra city, Luso, and other towns and villages, many beaches, rivers and walks, along with… read more

Cindy is a lovely hard working young woman, every day she was positive, and willing to try her hand at new things. She is very sociable, and keen to learn new things. She helped with building some steps, taking Lavender cuttings, and collecting millions of Hazelnuts from our many trees. She helped prepare items for a Market sale that we we taking… read more
