Description
Hello!

Firstly, thanks for taking the time to find out a little bit about me. I’m 35 and decided to embrace a new direction in my life at the end of 2022. I had been working in media and PR for over 15 years and after a successful few years I decided it was time to pursue my desire to fully see the world, immerse myself in other cultures and also feed my need to help others and care for animals.

I genuinely take pleasure in being able to aid others with any skills I may have and I am obsessed with nature and animals. So far on my 6 month journey my experiences witnessing nature at its fullest and most powerful and being able to witness incredible wild animals in their nature home has been such a gift.

I spent a month volunteering and living full time in a cat and dog rescue centre in December in Sri Lanka. It was hard work but highly rewarding. I learnt a lot, not only about providing love and cat to the animals but also medical attention, which at times, was emergency treatment.

I hope I get to introduce myself properly and learn about your life, very soon.

We were very lucky to have Lucy come and stay with us for 3 weeks. Her work ethic and attention to detail made her an easy person to host. She did a fantastic job helping us stain our deck, and was excellent with our 4 year old son. She was cheerful, funny and a great housemate. Don't hesitate to host Lucy :)

Ava, Blake and little Teo were such lovely hosts. I stayed in their beautiful home in the mountains for nearly a month and felt so welcomed and gracefully included into their life. I spent some days looking after the little energetic soul, Teo, and days varnishing their decking around the home. Ava was always so grateful for everything I did there… read more

I had such a wonderful experience with Heather and Hugh, they are extremely kind hosts and their property is on a truly stunning slice of natural beauty.
Hugh and Heather are very dedicated to reintroducing the native plants and trees within the area and well versed on how the natural landscape should be developing. I learnt a lot from them and… read more

It was a pleasure to have Lucy stay and help with us. She quickly learned to identify weeds and native plants. Lucy was expert at removing weeds and had great attention to detail.

Lucy participated in all activities and was proactive with ideas to improve efficiency. She was also clean and tidy and helped with meals and cleanup.
