Description
I love to explore and travel and have a passion for experiencing new cultures and meeting people from around the world. Workaway seems like a great opportunity to do both, whilst positively contributing to other individuals' projects, businesses in a mutually beneficial way.

This is my first time using workaway and this was inspired after a recent trip backpacking around Eastern Europe, meeting many volunteers who were having a great time volunteering.

In my spare time, I can be found reading a book at the beach, hiking in the bush, playing cricket/tennis or running absurd distances. I enjoy an active lifestyle and strive to continuously learn and develop.

I had a great week with Hella and Joop. It was refreshing to live off the grid for a while and enjoy their beautiful property. I assisted Hella with 3 school groups that came to The Forest School and also helped out in the garden.

I enjoyed a fantastic week with 2 other workaways. Jennie and Stephen really made us feel like family. It was great to help out in their backyard and also at the church with the children's group. I especially loved the picnics and Jennie's brownies! It is a beautiful old house, right next to the coastal path and beaches.

Donald was a great guy and fantastic help around the house... Think he learnt a few new skills, helped with clearing an overgrown paddock of gorse, honeysuckle, and a never ending wattle tree I had been trying to kill. He helped with tiling of a earth floor that did not not work out and felling of pine tree. His also good at mowing lawns... Thanks… read more

I had a great stay with Shushila over 2 and a half weeks. She was very caring, knowledgeable and a great cook! The work was varied and challenging but rewarding. Shushila has a beautiful property in the hills overlooking the ocean.
