Description

Elsa: My name is Elsa, I’m 26 and from Ireland 🇮🇪 I had planned to come to Australia for years now and I couldn’t be happier here in Port Douglas at the moment! I am looking for a Workaway for approximately 3 weeks from mid-May. I grew up on a small farm so I am well used to caring for all kinds of animals; horses, cats, cattle, pigs and chickens. So I know about all that comes with looking after animals. I love the outdoors and stayed with hosts in Portugal last year with my sister, we had lovely hosts and it was a great experience! I will be happy keeping busy with work around the house and outside.
Annabel: I love nature and enjoy learning about the environment. I have a Bachelors degree in Ecology and Environmental Biology, in which I have completed many fieldwork studies on plants and animals and their interactions. I carried out a study for my Bachelors thesis on the impact of outdoor pig rearing practices on the soil environment, where I sampled various small farms across the country of Ireland. Having grown up on a small farm in Ireland I always enjoyed caring for our animals such as cattle, horses, pigs and cats. We hosted rescue horses from the local rescue association in which we cared and exercised the horses back to health and prepared them for a new home which was a rewarding experience. Gardening and maintenance of our land is a regular activity for me such as weeding, cutting hedges and planting new plants.
