More details about your skills
I have completed A-levels in geography, English literature and product design. Through my product design A-level and projects at home I have developed my skills in the workshop; building and fixing furniture and painting I especially love upcyling and repurposing. I have worked as a waitress and shop assistant but also have experience as a babysitter for a 3 year old boy and caring for family relatives of varying ages between 2 and 13. I was a dog walker for a playful collie and have experience as a paid gardener.
I have done workaway as a dog walker and speaking English with a young girl. I have also been part of a workaway at a dog sanctuary. This year was at a workaway in Germany at a power station/art gallery doing a variety of tasking including physical work like moving large stones, gardening, cleaning, cooking and helping host an event. And in Slovinia I was gardening, painting and spend a week as the group cook where my cooking skills and passion has developed.
Age
19
What else ...
I come from a family of outdoor fanatics who love camping, canoeing and exploring new places. I am a very passionate hiker and enjoy scrambling and climbing. I have recently been introduced to surfing and sailing which I greatly enjoyed. During my time at school I played a leading role in an eco club arranging events including; tree planting, educating children on sustainability and caring for the environment, fundraising events for environmental disaster aid and working towards sustainability awards. I am a bit of an adrenaline junky and love trying new things.

Jaz needed somewhere to WorkAway last minute and I have no regrets about hosting her for a short stay here. She's mature, flexible determined and gets the job done with gusto and energy. Jaz helped us with gardening, mowing, cleaning, cooking and a kayak rack project. A strong young lady with some funny tales to tell, she fit right in here and we… read more

I reached out to Natalie as a last minute stay after my original host cancelled on me, she responded quickly welcoming me to stay. I was for 10 days and was so welcomed and the place felt like home immediately. Natalie is a great host she is kind and caring, during my stay I did gardening, cleaning and had a project to build a kayak rack.

After spending 10 days in their company we can assure you that Jaz and Marco are very responsable young adults, that know exactly what they want and are set to achieve their goals! They have seen the project we had for them from the beginning to the end and went out of their way to finish what they've started. They were very independant in their… read more

(Explore the D-Day beaches, ...)

With flexible work schedules to accommodate the midday heat, large home cooked meals, rides to local sites and excellent hospitality, we quickly felt integrated and well looked after during our short ten day stay. We worked predominantly on refurbishing the old front gate and enjoyed the independence we had to get it done once we had been shown… read more

I had the most wonderful time at Andrew's. I stayed for just under 2 weeks doing some gardening, painting and lots of cooking. We had plenty of fee time to explore the incredible scenery and enjoy cooling off at the river.

I stayed for 4 weeks and had an incredible time. The daily tasks are always varied, interesting and rewarding and instructions are always clearly explained. I can not express just how lovely everyone is, it feels like home in no time and 4 weeks shoot by so quickly. I will definitely be coming back!

Jaz was an excellent addition as a volunteer. She gave 110% energy and commitment to every task and always had a positive attitude. She helped mainly in the basement with organising the space, creating storage solutions, clearing up the garden, providing assistance to Pablo. She also undertook roles such as cleaning, cooking and assistance on the… read more

I stayed just under 4 weeks and had the most incredible time. At first the work can seem like a lot but you quickly pick it up and in a matter of days 100 dog names don't seem so hard to remember. Natassa is a great host, making sure everyone knows what they must do and helping any way she can. I miss the dogs already they are all so unique in… read more

Jaz stayed with us for 2 weeks and a half in September. It was a great experience for our family. She is strong, mature, reliable and patient. She was great with my daughter and very careful and helpful around the house. She is very flexible and independent, and also joined in our family activities. It was a pleasure to host her. Don't hesitate to… read more

I stayed with Nuria for two and a half weeks but wish it had been longer, such an amazing experience. This was my first workaway and first time travelling alone and Nuria and her family made me feel very welcome having dinner together in the evenings (Nuria is a fantastic cook!) and inviting me on trips out to the beach or on a run. Tarragona is a… read more
