Description
Hello! My name is Emily, I am from America, and am looking for the adventure of a lifetime! I just got a ski instructor job with Remarkables and Coronet Peak this season, so I will be in Queenstown June through October. I would love to experience a more local way of living while I am there. I am looking for a place to live in exchange for any type of work a few days a week. I hope to learn new skills, meet new people, try new foods, and fully embrace the New Zealand way of living.

More details about your skills
I am athletic, love being active outdoors, and eager to meet new people. I am a quick learner and could probably pick up any new skill. I LOVE traveling and experiencing new places and cultures. I have lots of experience working with children (nannying, tutoring, leading sports activities, being an older sister, etc), animals (I grew up on a farm with horses and chickens), hospitality, and some computer work. I have some experience with weeding gardens, organizing, cleaning, and DIY projects from previous Workaway and HelpX programs as well!

What else ...
I like having variety in my days and mixing up my routine so in my free time I might choose to go on a hike one day and then stay home and play cards with family the next. I love animals, children, sports, exploring restaurants and local food, music and dancing, painting, ...pretty much anything!! I enjoy getting my hands dirty outside (in the garden or cleaning chicken coops), but am very clean and organized when it comes to indoor things. My friends would describe me as easy to get along with, go-with-the-flow, adventurous, determined and hard working. I can't wait for whatever adventure I end up on next!

I had a very relaxing and fun time in Mullumbimby with this beautiful family. Ture, Margit, Silas, and Sita were all amazing hosts. I am definitely going to miss all of them, including their dogs, cat, and chicken. I stayed with the family for about 10 days in their caravan in the backyard and was able to use the bathroom inside the house and the… read more

Emily was a pleasure to host. She completed all tasks asked of her to a high standard. She was competent and confident with the horses. She enjoyed learning about Australian life on a farm. Emily's work mainly consisted of gardening, pruning, mulching and weeding. She also handled the horses for the farrier, cleaned out my hayshed and fed and… read more

Fiona and Alex were the most amazing hosts!! I stayed with them for about 10 days and loved my routine that I got into while I was there. I got up around 7am to feed the horses, and did a couple farm chores during the day, and then we all were in bed before 10pm. The misty mornings were so relaxing and I saw some beautiful sunset, too. Some of the… read more

My friend Eleanor and I stayed with this wonderful family for about a month and we LOVED our stay. We could not have asked for a better experience for our first Workaway and our first time in Australia!! Katie and Steve are so kind and very flexible in terms of the work schedule and do not make you do anything you aren't comfortable with. We had… read more
