  • Description

    Currently at university in London- any workawayers come say hi!

    Hiya my name is Isla and I am in my second year of studying veterinary medicine in London. I took a year out after school and worked in various jobs including as a waitress, horse groom and working at a farm growing food for a food bank to save money.Then I went out to central America for 5 moths and had some incredible times travelling and through workaway experiences ! Now in the holidays I enjoy doing workaways and travelling as much as possible…

    At the moment, with studying I am not able to travel overseas but need to do lots of work experience at farms in the UK as part of my degree, so looking for large scale sheep, equine, dairy and poultry places to volunteer and learn in the holidays. I am very hard working and have previous experience working at farms and gardening and will always give all my energy into learning and being part of a new team. I love harvesting and cooking with fresh food (surely everyone does too!


    I am a very open minded sociable person who loves staying active with outdoor activities like hiking, running, climbing, cold water swimming and horse riding. I’m also learning Spanish and so would love to go back to Spain or speak with more Spanish speaking people :)
