Travelling
My next destination:
New Zealand - from Nov 2023 until Nov 2024 View allDescription
I have just arrived in New Zealand on a WHV and am keen to get exploring! I am very interested in animals and anything outdoors, I would love to help in gardens, cooking, home-care etc, while also gaining some experiences with local people and culture.
I enjoy getting into nature, whether that be hiking or a good wild swim. I enjoy cooking and trying new things, so I would be very happy to teach and be taught new recipes. I am very much a bookworm, and like a good chat about books.Interests

I grew up in the countryside and have always considered myself to be a country girl at heart. I love animals, and have a degree in Animal and Conservation Biology.
I also have worked a job at Starbucks for the past 3 years throughout my degree, the last year of which as a supervisor, so I am no stranger to hard work.
I enjoy getting to know new people and learning about other cultures. My post-graduation plans are to travel as much as possible, and I am also trying to learn a bit of German on the side. A big benefit of workaway for me would be the chance to meet lots of people from different walks of life.Age

Skye did a great job weeding and painting. We wish her a wonderful time inNew Zealand.
Always cheerful and did every job we asked of her without complaint. We wish her well for the rest of her time in NZ and are sure she will do well as she has a very likeable personality.
During my stay I helped out in the garden, mostly weeding and wood gathering and a bit of veggie planting. Tasks were reasonable and well explained.
We had plenty of great conversations and I was even shown around Waipu and the beach.… read more
