Description

Hi there!
My name is Rosie, I am 19 years old and looking for workaways and buddies!
I love animals and spend my free time riding my horses on the beaches and trails surrounding my home. I also am a wildlife carer, my room is usually shared with possums, wallabies or birds!
For most of my childhood I lived on a boat so love the water, I am a keen scuba diver, snorkeler, swimmer and kayaker.
I love reading and watercolour, and dabble in sketching, needle felting, and painting.
I about to set off for my first time solo travelling so hoping workaway will help me get to know new areas and meet some friends!
