Description
33yr old British Female travelling the world.....

Have always been a big traveller (50 countries visited and counting). This had obviously been on hold for the last couple years, so after nearly 10yrs in a corporate world, I am taking a career break to have a delayed gap year.

I am interested in workaway as a way to experience local life while I travel. As I enjoy being productive, helping others, learning new cultures and developing some new skills as I travel.
After being cooped up with lockdowns I want to be outdoors to reconnect to nature as much as possible. Having been working on becoming more sustainable in my own life, I am interested in sustainable projects, farm stays and as a big animal lover – animal welfare projects.

Most weekends I spend hiking in nature, which can be hard in UK weather so hopefully where I visit will have more sun. Enjoy a cheesy film and the odd glass of wine over big nights out these days. Practise yoga on and off but have aimed to do more this year to keep me grounded.

Consider myself a very easy going and non-judgemental person. If it makes you happy and it’s not hurting anyone else, you do you 😊

Am a big animal lover, have yet to commit to a dog (after returning from my travels this will be first on my list) but have experience from fostering and volunteering at dog shelters, as well as working with the Guide Dogs for the Blind.

I also have some past experience of horse riding though am a bit rusty.

I stayed in Nicki's beautiful home for just over a month. Nicki is very friendly and easy to talk to, so I felt welcomed right away.
The main duties were obviously the dogs - I learnt more about doggy medicine and care then I thought I would ;) - but they are both lovely and easy to manage.
The Dogs: Cleo is the boss and diva of the household who… read more

I am so glad to have had the opportunity to host Frankie. She is a lovely and very interesting person and very easy to have around. My dogs absolutely adored her. Even Duke, who is very anxious, took to her within seconds.
I was away a lot of the time that Frankie was here and she cared for the dogs and the house admirably. She did a lot of jobs… read more

Frankie was great to have around. She is keen to help out and sees things that need doing and just gets stuck in. She likes a good yarn and is social. She is also happy to be by herself and enjoys the outdoors. Even though I didn't get to spend much time with Frankie, I am grateful for everything shed did for us.

What a lovely stay! Helen's hospitality and house were amazing. There were x4 other Workawayers when I arrived which created a real community feel. Tasks were always very clear and easy to manage - gardening, cleaning, cooking, organising and general housework. For the second half of my stay Helen left myself and X2 Workaways in charge of the… read more

I stayed at Liz's for around 4 weeks and what an experience!! I got to enjoy the company of Liz, her 14 adult dogs and 10 newborn pups (amazing to see them open their eyes, start to walk etc.)
Everyday you are welcomed by waggy tails, what a way to start a day :)
Liz let me get involved in tasks beyond the usual cleaning and caring for the dogs… read more

Frankie stayed with me for just over 4 weeks and wow she had this place running like clockwork! Frankie is a super organised and on top of things young woman who you can easily trust to manage and run your home/environment. She quickly gets onto what needs to be done, creates a schedule/list and stays to task. She was great at reminding me of… read more

As soon as I arrived at Rhonda & Ken's I felt like a part of the family. They are very welcoming, laid back and kind people and I'd recommend anyone near Sydney to pop by!
Wyong is around 2hrs from Sydney by train and both were happy to drive me into the local area and the train station. But you'd be able to explore the area more if you have your… read more

Having Frankie stay to help us out was a great experience. There were so many jobs that we had not been able to get to that she effortlessly worked through and ticked off, making life a lot easier for us. Everything was carried out in a careful and neat manner and she tackled every task without hesitation. It was also a pleasure to have Frankies… read more

As many others have said, this Workaway is like living with your adopted Aussie grandparents :) You always be well fed by Marie, I darent weigh myself after my 2 week stay! The work is very manageable (general cleaning, laundry, hoovering, mowing lawn, cleaning windows etc.) and gives you spare time to explore. Both Marie & Graeme were happy to… read more

Frankie was a joy to host as the first volunteer since my downsizing move to new Annapolis Valley mini farm. She was here for 2 weeks and jumped right in and made herself at home. Frankie is a very energetic person with her work and needs little supervision. She is very organized, meticulous and always finishes well every task with a cheery,… read more

I was Virginia's first Workaway since she moved to a new location / post pandaneic and I'm so grateful she re-opened her home and made my first Workaway experience so memorable.
For the 2 week stay, the work was mostly dog walking (and lots of cuddles), carrying firewood to clear the land, building campfires and some horse care / walks. If you… read more
