Description
Hi! I’m Citlali, a 30-year-old from the Netherlands, and I started my first big solo adventure through New Zealand on a Working Holiday Visa.

I’m passionate about meeting new people, forming meaningful connections, and embracing new experiences. I’ve travelled through Europe, spent time with family in Mexico, and explored Thailand — and now I’m excited to immerse myself in the nature, culture, and community of Aotearoa.

My background is in Molecular Biology (MSc), and for the past four years, I’ve worked in research on neurological diseases and cancer. While I’ve loved that work, this trip is a chance for me to try something completely different — hands-on, community-based experiences where I can learn new skills, help out, and grow in new ways.

I'm open-minded, enthusiastic, and happy to get involved with a wide range of tasks. Whether it’s gardening, animal care, cooking, organizing, helping with events, or learning something new on the go — I’m in!

In my free time, I love swimming, music, hiking, kickbox, crafts, board games, and spending time with animals (though I’ll be missing my cat, who’s staying with his grandparents).

If you’re looking for an extra pair of hands or just someone to hang out and share stories with, feel free to reach out. I’d love to connect!

Citlali was very helpful and did a great job in my garden. I enjoyed her company and having intersting chats with her. Really appreciated it when Citlali made a cake for my birthday and cooked up Dutch pancakes which we shared with my neighbours - we had a wonderful evening.

Going to a new workaway is always a surprise. You can read their profile and their reviews but you won't know if you like the place, the host and the tasks untill you get there. I arrived at Jan's place and was immediatly struck by the pretty garden. In my first chat with her she told me I was boring for not drinking nor smoking. And I thought oh,… read more

Citlali came to help me spring clean my beehives and although she had no previous experience of beekeeping she was an excellent help. She was calm, focused, carefull and was confident when working with the bees and cleaning the hives. Whilst she was with us she also cleaned my kitchen ceiling, weeded a pathway, painted an exterior wall of our… read more

My communication with Fran was super easy and I truly had a wonderful stay with them. Fran had me clean the ceiling on the first rainy day, some weeding and spoiled me with her great cooking. She introduced me to beekeeping, making me help her with some spring cleaning of hives. This was such a special experience, she prepared me for it and made… read more

Thank you for giving your energy to us and our projects. Thank you for just getting on with a dull project that still made a big difference to our back yard!
It proved a good strategy to introduce Citlali to all the projects in the first two days and allow her to do the work self-directed and in her own time. In fact thanks for the extra time you… read more

This was my very first workaway experience. Their house is about 40 minutes away from the center by bus, so not too close yet still easily reachable. They live very sustainable and have a beautiful garden filled with edibles. They have a shed where I stayed at. I didn't spend much time in the shed besides from sleeping. I was a bit cold,… read more
