  • Description

    Hello, my name is Olive!

    I am looking to make meaningful contributions to projects that align with my mission in life - to help make this world a better place.

    I am vegan and very passionate about animal rights. I love caring for both humans and animals, and find being in service very fulfilling. I’m a very practical person and find tasks from which I can see tangible progress really satisfying.

    I am a big food lover! So happy to help with vegan cooking and baking.

    I am also very curious, open minded and interested in spirituality. I enjoy practicing yoga and meditation and also like arts and crafts.

    I believe that nature is a healer and value carving out quiet time to embrace stillness. I am passionate about learning about psychology, holistic healing approaches, personal development and self-growth.

    I am also interested in learning more about/practising gardening, permaculture and veganic farming, as well as developing my very limited building/carpentry skills!

  • More details about your skills

    I have been so blessed to have experienced a variety of amazing workaway placements, including at:

    - Duster's Ark (a family run vegan animal sanctuary in the UK)
    - The Black Sheep Animal Sanctuary (NZ)
    - The Animal Sanctuary (NZ)
    - Te Paranui Animal Sanctuary (NZ)
    - Fat Cat Hostel (NZ)
    - The Loft Yoga Lounge (NZ)

    I have also had the privilege of living with four different wonderful families, whom I have learnt so much from. As well as this, I have done lots of pet sitting through House Sitters UK/NZ, as well as for family and friends.

    My experiences so far have involved cooking, cleaning, animal care (including administering oral medications), gardening (lots of weeding!), charity shop work and some small building tasks including: digging trenches to assist water flow, sanding wood and painting.

    I have a City and Guilds Level 2 Diploma in Work-based Animal care, after completing a dog grooming apprenticeship in the UK. I also have a DipHE in Animal Welfare and Society from Winchester University.
