Description

Hi!
I'm from the UK and currently looking to do some workaways around the UK for a bit. I travelled to Denmark last year to help out on an organic farm on Fyn, we planted chilli's and picked strawberries and helped out with the general maintenance on the farm. I then spent a week on Jutland helping to rebuild a house with recycled materials. I've since worked on a nursery in the UK with the intention of gaining more experience in horticulture.

I've worked in many roles involving DIY, from campsites and hostels to cafe's and outdoor instructing. I really enjoy being outside so anything involving being outdoors would be ideal. I also have experience working with children and young people through outdoor instructing and youth groups.

My plan currently is to travel around the UK with workaway and then maybe head into Europe and then New Zealand on a working holiday visa.

I'm friendly, hard working and eager to learn new skills and meet new people!

More details about your skills

My most recent experience has been working in horticulture at a nursery, gaining knowledge of plants and botany. The majority of my work experience has been interacting with customers, mainly in cafes and outdoor related jobs. I have worked in multiple campsites, assisting guests in putting up tents and doing general site work, manual work is something I enjoy, especially being outside.
I have recently completed my degree in outdoor and adventure management and have an understanding of outdoor provisions and how to manage people.
I have experience painting and decorating, at my current job at a youth hostel much of the winter is redecorating the hostel.
