Description
Hi there I am Olive and have just finished my Physiological Science course at university! I love being outdoors and you can find me camping or hiking on any day I have off! Having grown up on the coast, I love being in the sea - paddleboarding, sailing, canoeing but best of all wild swimming! I love to visit my local city farms and my dream is to work with young people there next year!
I love doing all things DIY and sustainability is really important to me, and with my love for making things I love an upcycle! I look after my chickens at home, and dream of having ducks and chickens free roaming in the future!
I love to get hands on and get stuck into tasks wherever help is needed on the day. With anything you need help with, I am very eager to learn new skills and give it a go and experience different ways of living! I love challenges and find it very satisfying to finish a task the best I can!
There's more about my interests and experience below!

More details about your skills
I am a community first aider in my spare time too which means I get to watch cool events (like London Marathon 2026!) and give first aid to the public! I love working with people - alongside university I have worked in primary schools, nurseries and at science summer camp, sharing my compassion for wildlife and creativity to inspire young minds.
I have cared for 1 hamster, 5 chickens, 3 rabbits and the cockatiel, amongst helping caring for friends and families pets during the holidays including a horse! I have a passion for creating and upcycling, with mending clothes, painting and giving damaged materials a new lease of life! We have also made all our pet enclosures - ensuring they are big and safe for happy animals! My dad and I made an enclosure for rescuing wildlife and nursing them to health - which included a squirrel, sea gull and pigeon. I am also not afraid to get my hands dirty and enjoy caring for my 21 house plants and vegetable patch over the pandemic. I learnt to a basic level of French at school, and am currently learning the basics of Italian, to better immerse myself in my grandparents Italian village's culture.
I have done 1 workaway last year doing DIY in an old Barn in the pyrenees and it was so much fun!
I have volunteered for some conservation work - pruning and weeding in our local woodland and using the sticks and natural resources to make habitats for the wildlife. I love sharing meals frown with local produce - my favourite being homemade gnocchi and fresh pesto! I am very excited about the opportunities to expand and share these skills with our next adventure!

What else ...
I love travelling and exploring new places - I have ventured to many different places across the UK hiking and cycling and recently I have been lucky enough to start to venture abroad! I am eager to explore lots of beautiful scenery, as well as learn about different cultures, ways of living and hear people's experiences!
