Description

After visiting NZ in 2023 exploring North and South Island, I made the decision to leave my job in London after 8 years and return to the beautiful countries of NZ and Australia on a WHV to explore the surroundings and cities and give back to the community whilst I am there.

I have lived abroad previously, after spending one year in upstate New York as part of my International Business degree at Newcastle (UK) which allowed me to visit Montreal as well as cities in the East coast of the US. I had an internship in Seville after graduating where I worked for an organisation funded by the EU which aimed to create more sustainable and Eco friendly cities. I love exploring new places, meeting new people and hearing about other peoples life adventures and hearing about their own stories.

I am 32 and love the outdoors, nature and animals. I am easy going, reliable and dependable. I enjoy sports, especially rugby and football. I am keen to volunteer to meet new people and experience different aspects of NZ and Australia. I've had experience in landscaping, gardening and also working on a horse stud farm. I love animals, and really enjoy taking care of them having been around goats and dogs and working with horses as part of my earlier jobs and family life
