Description
After spending 2 years on and off travelling while applying to the military and then 6 months in Police training school my true passions and morals have been discovered. Realising how much I have grown and the community I found while travelling I am now on the path to pursue a career and life centred around wellness, adventure and sustainability. Change has, is and will be difficult but I aim to embrace every moment of it.

I look for workaways with character and charm. I enjoy working with teams and having time to reflect by myself. I am eager to learn and share my knowledge, I have a growing interest in spirituality and in the power of nature and the outdoors on physical and mental health and want to help to protect and nurture the Earth while learning from the experiences it has to offer.

More details about your skills
I am a keen cook who loves to experiment with new flavours and recipes, while at a workaway in Slovenia I was the cook for a week catering for a range of different group sizes and dietary requirements, in Australia I had the opportunity to go dumpster diving which was a very rewarding experience and yet again tested my developing cooking skills. In Italy I managed the catering for a local festival and made a grand celebration cake.

I have also been building on my carpentry and construction skills, I have created a dinning table, kayak rack, many different shelving structures and some stools from wood which is my favourite material to work with but I would love the chance to learn more about working with metal. I have also done a lot of painting on my workaways and at home, be it outside walls and fences, furniture and wall murals there isn't much I haven't waved a brush at.

I have professional and workaway experience with children, I have worked in a primary school and as a helper on walking expeditions along with spending time with children on workaways teaching English through play. I also have experience with animals, mainly dogs (I am a huge dog lover!) I stayed at a dog sanctuary in Greece with 160+ dogs.
Age
21
What else ...
As previously alluded to; I am a big fan of the outdoors and have a passion for hiking, climbing and all things adventure. I have been exploring different mountain tops from a very young age and come from a family of outdoor enthusiasts. I love camping under the stars and trying new sports. I am very fit and healthy, I find manual work very rewarding and I am a keen runner training to complete a marathon someday so any opportunity to keep fit and I am there.
I am a big advocate for sustainability and during my time at school and college I helped found and lead an eco group which promotes sustainability through education, fundraising and political action.
In my down time I am learning to knit and I can do sewing and embroidery, I also enjoy reading, painting and practice yoga and mediation.

Jaz has sent one week at our farm. She was an excellent Workawayerin, really interested in everything belonging to our way of farming, very motivated and a great companion at the farm and within our family and community structure.

I stayed at the farm for one week as a much needed get away from my busy life and it was perfect, the people are so lovely and welcoming and great at explaining the work and the knowledge they have. The work outside was very calming even in the unusually wet weather! I fell in love with the sheep and have been inspired to hopefully have my own… read more

From the moment I arrived I felt welcomed and at home there, life feels like a movie surrounded by beautiful hills, wildlife and sunshine (most of the time).
Martin is a great host who is eager to learn and share, it was an honour to be a part of his project and I will definitely be visiting again.

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

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.

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.

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.
