Description

Kia ora,
I love exploring new places, cultures, and meeting new people. I am a secondary school teacher from New Zealand and love my job. In my free time, I enjoy staying active and spending time outside. Being from Taranaki NZ, I love hiking mountains and being by the ocean. I also love knitting, either projects for myself or baby blankets for my friends who are expecting. I am an avid reader and love talking about the latest books with my friends. I have travelled in Asia and am now planning a European adventure.

More details about your skills

I am a high school teacher and have been teaching for 5 years, mainly business studies and some accounting. I enjoy spending time with teens and teaching is a privilege. I have organised camps for 200 , 13 year old students as part of my teaching roles, focusing on making sure my students were having an enjoyable time.

I worked on farms throughout university, milking cows and on thoroughbred studs, so I have practical farm experience and enjoy working with animals. I have basic gardening skills such as mowing lawns, weeding, stacking firewood, looking after chickens and always happy to learn new skills and get stuck in. I am very happy helping out around the house cooking and cleaning.

I had a great time with Sarah and John at their cortijo!! It was such a nice sanctuary (and escape from the heat!). I enjoyed having a structured day and spending time in the garden (and with Shep and the cats!) John gave thorough explanations of what to do when planting or harvesting which was very helpful. No question was a silly question! The … read more

Kate was a highly rated volunteer. One of her best properties is her relaxed easy going personalty and attractive laugh. Work wise she specialised in planting and she planted loads of tomatoes, butternut squashes and melons. She must have green fingers because most of them survived. She also did a lot more tasks such as weeding, cherry picking, … read more

I stayed with Janet for three weeks and had the best time!! Janet is a very kind, caring person. She made sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed. My main tasks involved reorganising and painting an area of the house and gardening (when it wasn’t too hot!). I also rode the horses, which Janet helped me gain confidence with after not … read more
