Description
Hi, I'm Ella. I'm 26 from Wiltshire in the UK. I am a very creative person and love to paint, draw and create things. I also love to learn about gardening and organic farming practices and also sustainable eco living. I am excited to explore new places and meet lots of people along the way.

I have been WWOOFING in the UK since April 2022 and have now done a few workaways in NZ. I have learnt so much from incredible people and would love to carry on this journey.

More details about your skills
I have 2 months experience working on a community farm in Devon. Here my responsibilities included caring for 17 chickens, gardening, planting seeds, weeding, building/extending a foot path, cleaning, cooking and helping with changeovers in holiday homes.

I have a degree in Fashion Design and am a confident sewer and painter. I can draw and design and use some design programmes.

I have been working as a mental health support worker for just over a year where I had a number of clients each with their own individual needs. I was able to adapt the way I work to suit each client and support them to live an independent and enjoyable life. I have excellent communication and interpersonal skills and can manage tasks given to me efficiently.

I also have 5 years experience in the hospitality industry where I worked in customer facing roles. This also included a management role.

What else ...
I love hiking in nature and exploring new places. I practice yoga daily and am always keen to learn more from others. During my stay at the community farm I thoroughly enjoyed cooking for the group and trying new recipes with everyone. I love to paint and use my creativity where ever possible. I mostly paint acrylic on canvas and make my own jewellery.

I enjoyed hosting Ella and she was very willing to help with all the farm tasks and fit in with our lifestyle here on the farm. She gave every task she was given her best effort and was willing to do extra jobs if asked. She was friendly to all of us and the other volunteers. She was also happy to spend time playing with the grandchildren which is… read more

I stayed with Audrey and her family back in March for 2 weeks and wish I could've stayed longer! Staying at Audrey's was an incredible experience for me. The work we did for Audrey was mostly gardening as everything had grown a lot over the summer months while she was away. We also did a bit of housework and went with her to the Community garden… read more

I stayed with Zelda for two weeks and had a lovely time. Zelda and Matthew made me feel at home straight away. The accommodation was probably the nicest that I have experienced so far and the food was great! During my stay Zelda and Matthew were in the middle of selling the property and so we had to prepare the house to a few open homes so lots of… read more

I stayed at Hacienda for 3 weeks in July and had an amazing time. Kevin and Sarah are really kind and welcoming and fun to work with. I stayed in the cosy wooden cabin which was amazing. It had kitchen facilities and a comfortable bed. The jobs were varied and I enjoyed cooking for everyone in the evenings. I spent a lot of time in the vegetable… read more

I stayed at the farm for 3 weeks and it was a great experience. The staff at the place are super friendly and knowledgeable, I learnt a lot from them. The accommodation was great, clean and cosy and the kitchen was ideal. On working days the kitchen staff cooked everyone lunch and we all ate together. The food was always amazing. The jobs were… read more
