Description

Hi!
My name is Petra and I’m from the Czech Republic.
I’ve been on a Working Holiday in New Zealand for over a year now and I’ve had an amazing time here. I met many wonderful people and tried a variety of jobs – mostly orchard work, so I’m used to physically demanding outdoor work, but also working on a dairy farm where I milked cows and took care of calves, and helping with sales at a wine festival in Wanaka.

I’ve already had my first volunteering experience as well, where I helped take care of a house, garden and domestic animals. Thanks to that, I shared many great moments with my host and really enjoyed being part of everyday life. I spent most of the year living and travelling in my van and explored the whole of New Zealand.

In my free time, I love hiking in the mountains, learning how to surf, practicing yoga, baking, and taking care of animals. I’m a qualified dental hygienist, so I have strong communication skills and plenty of experience working with people. I really enjoy meeting new people, learning about different cultures, and picking up new skills. At the moment, I’m also improving my chess skills 😎.

I’m happy to help with house cleaning, cooking (I love baking!), gardening, and looking after animals (my absolute favourite!). I can also help with childcare, share travel experiences, or assist with anything else that’s needed. I’m a quick learner, reliable, and physically fit, and I always enjoy learning something new.

Originally, we planned to spend a week volunteering with Dan over Christmas. It was supposed to be our first volunteering experience in New Zealand, and naturally, we were a bit nervous about what it would be like—two girls volunteering for a single man.

As it turned out, we unexpectedly found work close to Dan’s place, and he kindly offered us … read more

I highly recommend Petra and Michaela! We had a wonderful arrangement, similar to a flatting situation, which worked perfectly since they had work commitments. We shared delicious meals they prepared, and I appreciated their excellent cooking skills.

Petra and Michaela make an exceptional team, complementing each other's strengths. They were … read more
