Description

Hello! I was born and raised in Cape Town, South Africa. I am passionate about being out and about in nature - I hike, cycle and swim. I love animals, music and languages. I am so excited to help with any projects and meet new people and get to experience different ways of life and share stories and learn new skills! I have moved around a lot in my adult life, so I would say I am pretty comfortable and getting used to new ways of life. I have picked up loads of random skills along the way. More on that below.

More details about your skills

I can do a little bit of everything - I am a quick and eager learner. My expertise is in hospitality, childcare and scuba diving. However, I am happy to help with gardening, cooking, organising, teaching, building, animal care or any other project you need help with. I am familiar with some tools. I have been involved with the care of 17 Alaskan Malamutes and 5 puppies, I have worked on farms, I have taken care of goats and chickens, I have helped build fences, I have run airbnbs (including the admin side), I have house and animal sat... A ture mishmash of things that have each taught me some skills :)

Saskia was here for a short period of time, but she is a very fast learner, from the very first day she was ready with the best vibes to help us. Saskia is the kind of person everyone wants to be part of your team. We were happy to met her and of course she is always welcome anytime she wants to come back!!

I had an absolutely fabulous experience at the Hostel . Carlos was great at communicating, at showing me how everything worked and he was so welcoming. The work is pretty easy to learn and is laid-back. I was working with an awesome team of volunteers. With the schedule published for a week at a time, we were able to plan fun things around work.

I stayed and worked with Andrea and Javier on their beautiful piece of land in Todos Santos for 10 days during September. It was exactly the kind of wild and deep cultural immersion that I was looking for. My primary goal was to work on my Spanish. Javier and Andrea respected this, and we communicated exclusively in Spanish. I also met many of … read more

I stayed at Tonje's property for 3 weeks at the beginning of October. I wish I could have stayed a month longer! I am already planning my return. During my stay, it was a mix of having Tonje around, and caring for her property while she was away. She was very adaptable with working hours. There were a few things that needed doing everyday (feed … read more

Saskia is a work horse like no other, and will have you check off to-do lists before you even knew you needed one! She took great care of my garden, 17 sled dogs and 5 puppies while I was away. She was good with hospitality, people, cleaning, communication and honestly pretty much anything that needed to be done… she’s got a keen eye to details … read more
