I'm currently in Victoria but have the freedom to travel to different territories. Very open to any sort of work, outdoors with animals, child caring and any general gardening.

Description

I’m 18 and completely riddled with the travel bug. I'm new to Workaways and yet to have my first Workaway experience. Currently on my gap year in between high school and university I recently headed back to the southern hemisphere drawn to exploring Aus after inter railing and backpacking Europe for 4 months with my best friend. I fell head over heels for the mosaic of cultures, people, landscape and perspective that comes with travelling and am so excited to learn more.

I’m a fast learner and always up to try out anything. I work hard and love learning new skills, I prioritise and value putting my best foot forward and feel so much satisfaction with progress in projects. I have a half glass full attitude on life and make the most of all opportunities. Ingenuity and adapting to different lifestyles and dynamics is something I prioritise.

I love the outdoors. When I'm amongst nature I feel most content and connected. Learning more about our connection to the land and how to nurture is something I could never learn enough about. Animals care is breed into me having pets my whole life they make a place feel like a home and it's innate to build bonds and look after them. I have a big interest in longevity (simplifying our food and stresses , and eating whole organic foods) and evolutionary psychology. Both explore sustainable habits and holistic outlooks on living a life which values the harmony with nature and appreciating the simple things. I'm very interested in learning to live organically off the land and how to tread lightly and sustainably.

Music is a huge part of my life, I play guitar and sing and it has always been such a natural love for me. A staple in my life. I also love the ocean and have enjoyed surfing and other water sports in the past which I am super keen to dabble in again. Along with food! I'm a total foodie. I love cooking and trying new foods, always dabbling in new and different recipes. Movies and art are held high in my books along with actual books! Reading and writing is something I really love. I also am passionate about grounding habits such as yoga and meditation which help me reconnect with myself and nature. Infamous in my friend group for my love of platters. I admit I am a bit of a Mum and love a good platter (extra points if it's outside in summer) or simply getting my friends round and cooking for them; good company, food and music and my heart is full.

More details about your skills

Through 5 of my school years I took horticulture and learnt about permaculture and the basics of pruning, gardening, mulching, market forces and landscaping. I'm always excited to expand this part of my skill-set. I've had experience pruning a grape vineyard and rootstock evaluation and grafting at an orchard. I've had experience volunteering planting native shrubbery with a sand erosion prevention organisation. Also volunteered in a nursery weekly pricking out and propagating native plants. I looked after the school beehives for 2 years doing basic feeding and cleaning procedures.
I have expansive experience in child minding with 2 younger brothers I was in the extended babysitting loop amongst my brothers friends. My Dad works weeks away and me being 8 and 12 years older than my brother I slipped into the role of parent #2 and have a lot of experience with general house work and childcare. I have a genuine love for childcare, the glow kids can bring to the mundane always mesmerises me.
I play guitar and sing and love to share this with other who are musically interested.
