My next destination:
State of Queensland, Australia - from Jul 2025 until Oct 2025 View allDescription
Hello! My name is Jack, a friendly, hardworking traveller from the UK eager to enrich my travelling experience by immersing myself in new experiences and cultures beyond the backpacker hostels. I am enthusiastic, adaptable, and a hands-on individual who is keen to bring my working skills and friendly manner to help you out in your home
I have worked in local government (Children’s Services) and academic administration after a solid foundation in hospitality. Before bartending in Queenstown, New Zealand during my last backpacking adventure, I worked at McDonald’s for 5 years while balancing study at school and university.
Across a wide range of workplaces, I can reliably apply his resilient work ethic and interpersonal skills to become a solid team member in any scenario.
Outside of work, I am keen to meet new people and experience different lifestyles and setups, which is why I am excited about Workaway. Alongside travelling, I love spending time outside (especially spent in nature), creative projects (I play piano and guitar), keeping active, and keeping social. Equally, I am comfortable with busying myself with quiet tasks and independent work.
I am a keen learner and persevere well, so you can trust me to rise to any challenge with a positive attitude. After all, I aim to be an excellent, helpful guest in your home.
I am RSA-certified, have a valid subclass 417 Working Holiday visa, and am flexible with hours, start dates, and tasks. I can also readily provide references at your convenience.
If you think I am the sort of Workawayer you are looking for, I would love to hear from you and work out a plan together.
Many thanks for your time,
JackInterests
