Description
Hello everyone :) My name is Nicole and I have been in Tasmania since early 2017. I initially studied Hospitality Management but then ended up working in a native plant nursery near Hobart for a few years and am currently working in an Office Manager role in the construction industry whilst on another student visa.
In 2015 I traveled around Australia and New Zealand for 6 months and fell in love with this place, which is why I then decided to make some (big) changes and come to live here. Unfortunately it's not looking like I am able to stay here permanently though, my visa expires in April 2026.

I am half British, half German so I am very organized, efficient and persistent and I am happy to do all sorts of work, if I haven't done it before I am quite capable of learning it :)

What else ...
I am very honest and straightforward and I love nature and bush walking, I am totally not a city person and the more remote I can get, the better and the more I feel I can connect to nature and myself without the distractions and noises of busy surroundings. In the past 10 years I have been doing various kinds of yoga and meditation, on and off, more off than on I guess. I went to India twice and even bathed in the Ganges but after all of that I now have come to understand that there is no need to go anywhere else than within to find all the answers. I am now in the process of discovering what I truly desire and what my purpose is and I sense that it has to do with nature and animals so I find Tasmania is a pretty good spot to start off with :) I am very interested in learning about sustainable conscious communities and how it can all work differently... and honestly - I really have no clue why I am studying what I am studying right now but it will become clear at one point, I trust that. I have been led to Tasmania for a reason and I am looking forward to understanding it all one day :)

Having Nicole to stay and help out was lovely. She was very kind and considerate of my two elderly dogs and always had a warm fire going before I got home after work. The house was spotless and probably had more TLC during her stay than it is used to!

Nicole was good company and always happy to do those pesky outside chores such as cut the grass… read more

I had a great week staying on Jane's farm and interacting with her and her two dear dogs Womble and Rosie and the very round and always happily purring ginger cat! As it was winter and very cold, there wasn't really much to do outside on the farm but I was able to do some small jobs around the house like cleaning and keeping the fire going so the… read more

I only stayed with Angie, Paddy and Ashlynn for three days but they made me feel part of the family right from the beginning! Angie is a great host and a very humouros, caring and generous person, she always makes sure that you have everything you need! The work was never too hard and I enjoyed being at the farm as well as at the temporary house… read more
