Description

Hi, I’m Nae! My aspiration is to learn about farming, art, language, agro-ecology, and sovereignty in food systems all over the world.

Most of my experience is in growing diversified annual vegetables, maintaining gardens, and tending food forests. I would love to learn about plants and practices that I don’t know, as well as skills like building, carpentry, and taking care of animals.

I’m open to new experiences and eager to get my hands dirty helping out in community with others!

David and Marie were very generous hosts! They had so many recommendations, and let me borrow a bike to get to town. I had coordinated with them originally as a solo traveler, and they were kind enough to let my friend also stay and help while she figured out next steps. I enjoyed working in the garden, learning how to use the log splitter, … read more

I'm so grateful to have been able to stay and help for 2 weeks 💛 It was an experience of meeting incredible people, music, nourishing food, and the privilege of immersion in Te Reo Māori at the school. I loved helping at the school, working in the greenhouse, and projects fixing things here and there. Nga mihi for everything, Lisa! ✨

Staying with Andy and Dalina and getting to know them and all the kids was such a pleasure. They had so much generosity and flexibility, letting me stay longer than I had planned as I was dealing with car trouble. Learned a lot about fencing and other aspects of taking care of animals! I felt mutually cared for as well <3

Craig and Rachel set the bar high as my first workaway in NZ! So much warm generosity and seriously amazing meals. The property itself is a slice of heaven, I loved walking to the beach everyday after working.

It was such a pleasure to stay with this family! I learned so much about syntropic agroforestry, and the kids were so sweet. They made amazing home grown meals and were so generous with recommendations and flexibility so I could explore the area.

Nae was a pleasure to host and a great help. It was fun to have her staying with us and she fitted in well with our family routines.
She is an experienced gardener with many skills, works well with others or alone and is a steady, hard worker. We particularly appreciated her cleaning out the house gutters and an epic stint lawnmowing. Highly … read more
