More details about your skills
I studied animal management, so working with animals is high on my list. I can help with animal care or hospitality. I have a broad variety of experiences and skills. Love working in the garden. I am eager to learn and I am keen for new experiences.
In 3 years of traveling (Canada, Australia and New Zealand) I have had 6 workaway hosts with different types of farms and homes, I loved them all! The different kind of work on each farm or garden, made it very interesting and fun! I also worked on different types of dairy farms in Australia and New Zealand (not workaway, but paid) which has been amazing and a good experience.

What else ...
So far I just loved my workaway experiences in Canada and Australia! I did not stay with a workaway host in New Zealand but the work experience on different dairy's was great. I think workaway is a great way to meet new and different types of people, which creates new ideas. Staying with local people gives a great opportunity to see the country in it's real perspective.

Elisa was one of the hardest workers we have had the pleasure to host. She went above and beyond on jobs always finding a way to do something extra that finished a job beyond our expectations.
We wish Elisa all the best in her travels and we would be more than happy to see her back here.

Time flies when you are having fun! I had a wonderful stay with Kristina, Phil, Jordan and the dogs. I almost managed to put little Lucinda in my suitcase. But sadly I had to leave her behind. She is the cutest poodle puppy ever! I enjoyed working in the garden and the jobs were easy to do. I went for a swim almost every day in the pool, which was… read more

Elisa made an effort to fit in to our family and farm life and was always enthusiastic and helpful.
She was a lovely person to have around with a lot of positive energy. I really appreciated her help and she appreciated how busy I am.

On their host page stated: “A home bursting of life”. This is definitely not a lie. There is an energetic energy around all of the Bowe’s. I think the saying “Work hard, play hard” is very suitable for this family. There are always plenty of jobs to do, like on any farm. You wont get bored, promise. There are often opportunities to go for a horse… read more

The home of Alexandra and her family is not only bursting of life, it is also full of love and inspiration. If you want to learn how to live sustainable, this is the place to be. Most of the food (vegetables, fruit and meat) is organic home grown and Alexandra makes delicious meals out of it. Be prepared to make this lifestyle your own, or at… read more

Geoff, Jan and Andrew were great hosts. The cows are quite and the horses well behaved. I really liked working with them. I have learned a lot and had a good time. There was always plenty of food (& cookies) so you don't have to go hungry. Overall a good experience.

It was pleasure to host Elisa. She applied herself willingly and diligently to any task asked of her ..and even if not asked eg helping to change flat tyre. Tasks included shoveling gravel,hedge cutting, helping to train calves, cooking, ironing clothes. She also rode one our horses competently.

Amber has an amazing place along the the Whitehorse river close to town but you still have the wilderness feeling. She is great in finding you a suitable job. I liked working in the garden and walking the dogs. If you want to go to Whitehorse, this is the place to stay.

Elisa, is a very wise and independent young woman. As her previous host mentioned, she is easy to host. She is quiet and easy going. Her taste in music is unique, but she uses head phones...she is so polite like that. We really appreciated her work with the animals, especially pulling porcupine quills, and her patience with our puppy when walking… read more

My two month stay with Petra and Gereon was great! I felt really at home and there was a positive vibe. I had a lot of fun with Petra during meals and our trips. She showed me around the area, we went shopping in Grand Prairie and we went to the Bear Creek Folk Festival, which was awesome! These people have great ideas about living off the grid… read more

Elisa joined us for July and the most part of August and got right to work! While she was helping to build bee equipment and weeding the garden, she also kept an eye on the animals, took the dogs for walks and generally did whatever needed to be done. I really enjoyed her company and our talks at mealtime or during our shopping trips. She is very… read more
