Description
Hello there!

I am a pleasant, passionate and peace loving plant lover looking for a volunteer opportunity in which I can positively contribute to people's lives, the environment or our fellow animals.

I would someday like to live off grid in a community of likeminded nature lovers, and hope to learn some skills essential to surviving in the countryside! I'm aiming to volunteer on a long term basis to learn and help as much as I can, while making lifelong connections with the people I meet along the way.

SKILLS
- I have extensive experience in the hospitality industry so do not shy away from long working days, physically demanding tasks and the grimiest of cleaning jobs. I love interacting with new people and take pride in providing a smiley and efficient service.

- I am an amateur gardener and herbalist with a basic knowledge of medicinal and edible plants. I'm a total tree hugger and enjoy being outside, rain or shine.

- I am a newly qualified yoga teacher with a regular practice and an ever-expanding knowledge of yogic philosophy. I have done some casual lessons and would love to try out my teaching skills on you.

- I have experience caring for bees, free range poultry, dairy goats, cows & sheep, pigs, rodents, and dogs.

- I've previously been a nanny and generally love the company of little people! I'm a big kid myself so am all too happy to entertain. My elephant impression is spot on.

- I am competent in social media marketing and content editing, which I have used to drive engagement with, and customers to, restaurants I have worked at.

SKILLS I WANT TO WORK ON
- Gardening/Permaculture
- Animal care
- Sustainable Construction
- Hostel/Hotel management

Other than that, I am a relaxed and happy individual, keen to learn and prepared to work hard.

All the best,

Ellie

I had a very wholesome time with Emily and 5yr old Riley. Some days were peaceful, with only the birds and the goannas for company. Others were spent working in the potato field or weeding the ginger. On special occasions I became a witch or a fairy eating monster! - I had a lovely time hanging out with little Riley and using her tiny bright pink… read more

I feel like I have adopted a new person into my extended family and loved staying with Scott and experiencing his world. It itself is a beautiful wooded area with a kangaroo every five metres and all manners of birds, snakes and insects. Scott's home is a large communal space with both long-term tenants and workaways, all of which are extremely… read more

I had a lovely time staying at Dan, Cas and Leona's centre. I am so grateful for their warm hospitality and the interesting conversations we had. They provided us (me and fellow workawayer) with all the food we could possibly need and invited us on outings to local Fiestas, markets and friends. The area is STUNNING. Green mountains for miles,… read more

Ellie is a beautiful soul - down to earth, funny, open, positive, intelligent and with a big heart. I had the gift of her giving me a yoga class and she is a natural teacher, so clear in her communication and so interested and involved in continually improving her yoga practice. It is very inspiring.

Ellie is a very experienced volunteer and this… read more

Annalouise was lovely enough to host me and my friend at very short notice and entrusted us with the care of her beautiful home. We couldn't ask for a more welcoming and beautiful host. She provided us with all the ingredients we could need and shared with us some amazing conversations. Annalouise is knowledgable in many forms of healing and… read more

Sorry it took a while for the review!! I had a flipping amazing time at the farm and learnt so much and met so many beautiful people. I worked with a very stubborn horse (❤ Jenny), goat escape artists, very friendly little boy calves, cheeky chickens and loads and loads of pigs. We only worked four days a week, 9-5 but with all the tea and… read more

I've been workawaying non-stop for the last year and a bit and this was my favorite so far. The garden is heaven, the food available is lovely and healthy, the optional meditations in the morning and evening are great for beginners and those looking for more accessible meditation alternatives. There is a beautiful yoga/meditation hall and a pool… read more
