Description
Hi, I'm Megan, I'm 25 and live in North England.
I love to travel to new places, and experience the different life-styles, work, cultures, possibilities, ideas, people, animals and landscapes. I've worked quite a bit with horses and other animals: on a rare breed farm, a horse rescue centre, a horse sanctuary, a few riding stables, a cattery, and my family have had lots of pets which I've looked after.
I have done some land management/conservation work (scrub clearing, hedge laying, tree planting, digging drainage ditches) and some gardening. I'm interested in learning more about permaculture and other methods of sustainable food-growing, and living sustainably in general; more about conservation (of animals, plants and their habitats) and protecting the natural environment; and more about animals and horses. I love to be outside, in nature. I love animals, music, art, walking, horse-riding and board games. I'm also interested in meditation and yoga and any outdoor activities. I'm very happy working outside in any weather, and I'm very happy working alone or with others. I'm positive, hard-working, flexible, patient, and considerate.
Skills and knowledge I'd like to share or learn
I'm interested in:
Eco Projects
Hospitality/Tourism
Charity Work
Language practice
Some knowledge of:

We were really lucky to find someone of Megan’s qualities to support us. Megan learned fast, joined in and was proactive with her tasks. The dogs loved her and the feeling was mutual. Megan handled them in a calm considered way which was perfect for a big breed. We enjoyed her company immensely, and liked the same movies and shows. She was very… read more

I spent 5 weeks with Jean and Godfrey and had a wonderful time. They are fabulous people, kind, thoughtful, generous and very welcoming, I really felt at home living with them. The dogs are brilliant, great temperaments and full of character and energy, I loved being with them. I helped with walking them, cleaning up after them, feeding, grooming,… read more

I had a brilliant time with Ariane and her animals. The animals are all wonderful, I loved working with and getting to know them, there are so many different characters, and Ariane has created a wonderful home for them all. They need looking after every day though, you need to be ready to work hard.
Ariane is such a lovely person, kind,… read more

My stay with Richi was wonderful, the three weeks I was there was not long enough, I wish I'd stayed longer. He's a brilliant host. He made me feel very welcome right from the start. He's interesting, kind, considerate and funny, and great to spend time with, and he gently pushed me to sing and play the guitar with other people which was great and… read more

I spent a month here and it was an amazing experience. The animals are all wonderful, I loved looking after and working with them. The work is very varied, I learned so much. Other than looking after the animals (which included feeding and cleaning them out, walking with the gorgeous dog, Charlie, and occasionally getting the ferret out, amongst… read more

Megan is a lovely young woman, considered yet engaged and very hard working. Megan fitted in quickly and easily and picked up all the jobs she was asked to do without hesitation and was systematic and thorough. She has a natural empathy with animals and is a kind and gentle individual. She also makes great bread!! We thoroughly enjoyed having… read more

Megan is a great worker, and a lovely person to have around. She quickly learned our routines and did a fantastic job of looking after our horses. She also happily helped with other jobs around the farm, and we would recommend her to any host.
Thank you Megan, you are welcome back anytime!

This was my first Workaway experience, and I had a brilliant time. I felt so welcome right from the start. Lou is an amazing person, I learned a lot from her. She was very busy but she always made time to answer my questions and to show me things, she has tonnes of horse knowledge. The horses are wonderful, they seem so happy, the farm is a… read more
