Description
Hello Workaway! My name is Katie, i am 25 and from England.
I have been travelling on and off for the past 7 years, exploring over 35 countries. Currently, you can find me somewhere in Scotland!

I'm a bubbly, friendly girl that enjoys to meet new people and of course, to travel. I'm an outdoorsy person, who loves hiking and taking in epic views. I am very passionate about animals and have volunteered at 6 different animal sanctuaries using workaway. I have also enjoyed using workaway from many other great experiences- such as helping a local family with their house/garden, teaching at a local school, helping at a cacoa&fruit farm, construction/restoration work and hostel work. It's been great to get outside of my comfort zone and gain new experiences to take with me through life.

More details about your skills
In the UK I worked as a care worker caring for the elderly/disabled, where I've gained many skills and a lot of patience! Before this, I worked for a few years in resturant/bars working as a bartender&server. So, I have experience in hospitality and could even make you some tasty cocktails if that's something you like!
I've got plenty of experience in customer service too.

also, I can cook great vegan food!

I am very confident with all different kinds of animals, especially dogs and cats. In the past I have volunteered at 5 different animal sanctuaries, these have all been working with street dogs/cats, helping to bring them to health, cleaning their enclosures, bathing them, giving medication and rehoming. I can help with things like lead training, socialising dogs, and also basic grooming of dogs and cats. I also have got some experience working in a dog groomers. I hold a Level 3 Diploma in Animal Mangement.

I have a TEFL certification.

I spent 10 days at Mathieu and Els beautiful home in the mountain and left with lots of lovely memories, a set of new skills and a full heart(and stomach!).

The work was varied, not too strenuous and very weather dependant. Sometimes helping Els in the kitchen, but mostly outside- digging, cutting back trees, transporting wood etc. I learnt a… read more

We had the pleasure of hosting Katie, a wonderful volunteer from England, for ten days. Katie proved to be a self-reliant and capable individual, readily taking charge of tasks independently. Her ability to handle responsibilities on her own, including physical work, was truly noteworthy.
In addition to her strong work ethic, Katie showcased her… read more

I spent a month on doggie mountain staying with Janet and her 5 lovely dogs.
The work is varied- of course, playing with the dogs but also some garden work/painting/digging etc. Just whatever needs doing on that day. I learnt a lot! Work is finished by 12 so you have the rest of the day free until doggie playtime in the evening. The house is… read more

Katie volunteered with us just before the pandemic and I've simply not got around to writing her review as our Workaway profile has been offline for a while. She was EXCELLENT with all the dogs, very conscientious in the house, great fun to have around in general. We would welcome her back any time!!

I volunteered here from January 2020 until March 2020 until sadly the pandemic cut my trip short. They have moved house since I was there so I can’t comment on the accomodation or the location. However what I can say for sure if that I had an amazing few months here and fell in love with all of the precious chuchos. Alyce and Mario have big hearts… read more

A really great workaway experience! I stayed for just a week but this is somewhere you could end up staying forever. The work is very fair and you get a lot in exchange for the few hours you work. The work involves a bit of everything, we were mostly doing some jobs in the vegetable garden but we also got to paint signs, plant trees etc. What… read more

Katie was an invaluable member of the team and got to know the project thoroughly during her time here (we were delighted she was able to stay for 2.5 months). She was reliable, calm, hardworking and great fun to be around. She had a great attitude and showed compassion to fellow volunteers and cats alike. Katie went above and beyond spending… read more

I spent an amazing 2 and a half months here and it now has a special place in my heart. Jacky is a lovely lady with lots of knowledge and so many amazing travel stories from the many trips all over the globe she has been on.
