Description

Hi, I'm Crissy, 31 year old from Melbourne, Australia. I have been working as a social worker since 2017 with experience working in disability, mental health, family violence and with refugees and asylum seekers.
I am travelling in Europe and will relocate to the UK for a working holiday, with plans to travel as much as possible in between my time working in the UK and anywhere in the world for that matter
I love to travel and meet new people, and interested in getting to know locals and the culture. I would be interested in making new international friends whilst really feeling part of a family and their culture. I am open to helping out in different ways from physical maintenance/labour tasks with, cleaning, gardening, art projects, hospitality, welcoming/guiding guests, to carer support, charity work, international aid.
I am a quick learner and happy to learn new skills for the stay.

I like to explore and travel different places and am particularly interested in the outdoors. I love hiking, learning bouldering and rockclimbing, love exploring rain forests, rice fields, being in the snow, swimming at the beach and lakes and seeing historic sights and cities. I am very open minded and curious to see and learn new things.

I have had two experiences with workaway in 2019 and am eager to have more.
