Description
Hi, I am Natacha from Belgium, Ghent. Travelling and volunteering in animal shelters are my passion. I have a degree in animal care (I work as a lab technician, because in Belgium it's not easy to work as a veterinary assistant) and it has always been a dream to work with animals. Via workaway I already volunteered in a few animal sanctuaries and in my home town I helped as a volunteer in a dog adoption cafe.
I am an enthusiastic, hardworking volunteer who is easy going, reliable, adaptable, caring and I live a vegan lifestyle.

We loved having Natacha and Johan stay with us. They were a huge help to us and we really appreciated all the care they gave to the animals. They worked hard but also fitted in like part of the family. We would welcome them back here any time!

But they gave it their all . I was happy hosting them. They both loved the animals and treated them with love and kindness. All I ask is for… read more

We stayed with Nina and Malcolm for 2 weeks and it was amazing.
Nina really does a wonderful job, we admire everything she does for all kinds of animals. She really makes a difference, there should be more people like her.
Nina showed us some photos of the place before all the cages and shelters, what a huge difference, all that hard work out of… read more

Initially planning a two week stay, Natacha and Johan ended up staying with us for just over a month in April – May 2017.
They are hard workers and great people, both with positive ‘can do’, ‘never give up’ attitudes.
They moved along many different and diverse tasks that needed doing around the property, along with helping to keep up the… read more

This was our first experience with workaway and it was absolutely fabulous! We loved it with Jacq and Scarlet, it felt more like a cosy home for us. We even extended our stay, eventually we stayed over a month.
Jacq was a very warm and lovely host, we couldn't imagine a better one for our first time. She is very knowledgeable, funny, friendly, a… read more
