Description
Hiya!
I am a high school teacher from Vienna, Austria, planning on visiting New Zealand this July and August!
I did workaway before (10 years ago - yikes!) and had a lovely time helping around a farm in rural Montana, US. I also spent a summer wwoofing in my native Austria when Covid wouldn't permit any further travel.
I am an outgoing and active person, love reading and the outdoors and am looking forward to forming more global connections and friendships.

I stayed at Lyndsey's for a week and looked after her house/dog/cat while she was away. Lyndsey is the easiest going person you can imagine, so nice, fun to talk to, philosophise about life and men and have a glass of wine with.. always open for questions, tips and anything else you might need.

I stayed with this family for 4 weeks as my first workaway experience and - as promised - I had a BLAST!
