Description
Hello we are Sarah and Phil originally from Newcastle, UK
We got bit by the travelling bug and haven't stopped since May 2015 through out Europe, SEA, Australia and New Zealand. Some of our favourite experiences have been through learning, sharing stories and the cultural exchange we get through workaway, couchsurfing and volunteer work.
I am (Sarah) a bit of a book worm and love my art and history. I love exploring new places and finding out about all the history/stories behind it.
Phil is a big tech geek but since travelling has fallen back in love with the outdoors and camping.
We are a friendly, outgoing and adventurous couple. We are wanting to not only help out but learn new skills and languages as we travel. Our main goal is to work hard, have fun and meet amazing new people.
Skills and knowledge we'd like to share or learn
Gardening
Babysitting and creative play
Creating/ Cooking family meals
General Maintenance
Life at a Farmstay
Eco Projects
Helping around the house
Animal Care
Hospitality/Tourism
Charity Work
Art Projects
Helping with Computers/ Internet
More details about your skills
Sarah - I am definitely the artsy type so any art/creative projects I would be great with.
Before travelling I worked in retail/customer service. Due to this I am very chatty and know how to act with customers. Either in a hostel/hotel type environment or just general dealings with public.
I am also the oldest of 5 children and have had a great deal of experience looking after children. Anywhere from changing nappies to keeping toddlers and young children entertained.
I recently found a love for baking and would love to make some treats for you.
Phil - I have a BSc in Games Development and before travelling spent 4 years as a Mobile Applications Developer. Due to this my main skill lies in anything computer related. So if there is any technical advise or help needed this is something I have great deal of experience with.
I have a Drivers License which can be used in Europe and have been qualified for 7 years.
Since travelling we have worked on farms, animal sanctuaries, garden work and home improvement.
I also enjoy making some great pasta and salsa sauces and homemade pizza dough.

We had the most Kiwi experience with Jen and her family! White baiting, sheep shearing and even spaghetti on pizza (still not sure on that one though) Highly recommend staying on this stunning farm, the work is rewarding, there are a lot of lovely animals and a very welcoming home!

We absolutely loved these 2 - they have been my 14 daughters most favourite woofers. They were heaps of fun, worked really hard, were capable at a wide range of skills, had a go at everything and so easy to have around. we will miss them and wish them well for the rest of their travels. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM!!!!

Sarah & Phil stayed with us for a month and we still did not want them to leave, a wonderful couple who are easy to fit into your daily life, they worked above and beyond the required, they put their boots on in the morning and off they go to the task at hand, and did not stop until the job was done. Sarah loved learning new recipes and has her… read more

Hi Sarah, thanks for the kind words! You were here at the time of the bushfires and that was so unsettling for all of us, and your family in particular. Much of the burned areas are regenerating now, let's hope it doesn't happen again.
Come see us again if you get the chance. All the best. Diana

We stayed at this wonderful farm back in January but didn't have a chance to write anything until now.
We had a great time and even though before this I was a city girl I am now considering a country life after travelling!
Thanks so much for your hospitality and sorry for the late feedback

Lovely couple and awesome place. The was hard work but Ivanna and Miho are an easy going couple so you can take your time.
Dubrovnik(the closest city) was our favourite place in Croatia!
The food was amazing and we fattened ourselves before leaving.

We just left John's a couple of days a go after spending 3 weeks on his wonderful farm. We got to experience his famous annual party (including pig on a spit roast), amazing cooking and stealing John's recipes.
We were never bored, always busy working in our overalls. It's sometimes hard work but well worth it for the nights spent listening to… read more

The work was easy and actually fun (Phil never put that strimmer down)
