Description

I am currently in Aotearoa New Zealand on a WHV where I have been for over 2 years now. 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.

More details about your skills

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.

I had a wonderful few days staying with Kate and Terry in Waihi. They made me feel very welcome in their home and made sure I had everything I needed. Kate cooks lovely food and gave me a tour of the local town, and Terry has lots of good stories to tell. I mostly helped out in the beautiful garden; there is lots of weeding and painting to do.

Skye is a lovely person and easy to have around. She planted, weeded, cut flax, moved mulch and helped load a burn pile and more.
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.

I had a lovely 4 days staying with Viv and Paul who were very welcoming and made sure I had everything I needed.
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

What a great time we had! Skye is fantastic company and an equally efficient helper around house and garden. Skye is independent and keen to get things done. She also has a great sense of humour, and interesting stories to tell from her homeland Scotland and her travels. it was a privilege having Skye stay with me, learning about a fresh outlook … read more

I stayed with Gerlinde for 12 days and had a wonderful time. She is clear and communicates tasks well, and they are straightforward. I would usually spend time in the beautiful garden, weeding, pruning or working on the plant beds. And also decorating the scarecrow "Chile". On rainy days there was plenty to be done inside.

Gerlinde was a … read more
