Description
Hi, I'm Shannon, a 28yr old based in The Tweed Shire, Aus.

My first love is travelling, and I've dedicated a fair chunk of my adult life to travelling/living overseas. Learning about different ways of being, different perspectives, cultures, religions, values, absolutely fascinates me.
There is so much to learn and gain from every human on this Earth.

I've recently returned home from Aus and am rediscovering the beauty of my own country.
I am extremely interested in sustainability, community living, permaculture, biodynamics, regen farming, animal care, construction, health and wellness, spirituality and natural medicines.

I'm doing a Permaculture design and teaching course, and would really value learning and gaining various perspectives from the many amazing people around the area embracing this way of life and being.

My favourite way of travelling was to experience life from a locals perspective and take my time to understand the culture, the way of life and the incredible beauty that surrounded me. My intention is the same for local work trades.

I'm hard-working, easy-going, open-minded, eager to learn, and would love all opportunities to develop and deepen my knowledge of wisdom about natural systems.
I am curious about many many different things including hiking, exploring the outdoors, playing the guitar, reading, gardening, cooking, natural medicine, holistic healing, surfing, meditation and yoga.

Phillip and Anne are some of the best hosts that I've been lucky enough to encounter. I just loved their campground overlooking the beautiful mountains in the area. They are kind, generous and caring souls, and went above and beyond to ensure that I was comfortable. I enjoyed many amazing motorbike rides and trips throughout Nelson and the Slocan… read more

Shannon came to our rural property in Nelson to help us clear brush to be more wildfire safe. She also helped out with volunteer work we do in the community. She was a great help, and a friendly person to have around. We would absolutely recommend her, and would welcome her back here should she return to our neck of the woods!

Jackie & Wayne are such genuine beautiful people and I loved my time with them. I was welcomed into their family from day one and enjoyed getting to also know their daughters' families, as well as Jackie's mum. Jackie & Wayne treat their guests extremely well and they were kind enough to take me on many excursions around the Sunshine Coast. The… read more

Micê and her 'little human' dog, Kai were the best workaway hosts I could have ever hoped for!
Micê has one of the kindest and most generous souls that I've had the pleasure of knowing. The work is flexible and she will work to your strengths. If you do right by her, she will return the favour ten folds over.
The area that Micê lives in is a… read more

Shannon was the easiest guest we have ever had. She joined in the family and related to everyone with ease. We worked together for a short time and she just took the innitiative to do all that she could to help. An incredible bonus for me was her accounting skills and the way she organized my papers so impecably. Her organizing abilities and her… read more
