Kia Ora people!
I'm Izzy from New Zealand (but I grew up in Sweden), and decided to become a Workawayer this year. My main mission is to be as adventurous and helpful as I can, and to share a lot of joy with all of you lovely people out there.
--------------------------------
A little bit about me! Let's get to know eachother :-)
I love throwing myself into new experiences, love to be curious, and love the laughter that follows after a stranger just became a friend.
Nature is my happy place. I've hiked mountains and ran on a lot of beaches back home in New Zealand 🇳🇿 🥝
I have worked to support children affected by cancer - I am very lucky to have learnt so much from these little warriors!
I am qualified as a barista and bartender, but am eager to pursue and finesse these skills further.
I've been a housesitter for many families in New Zealand. While looking after their homes, I've also helped with pet and gardening duties. I am very comfortable helping in this area :-)
I would like to study for a degree in Physics, but have zero clue whether that's the right path for me. Workaway is my time for exploring and connecting, which I'm hoping will help me decide on a career. But, I would be really happy to share my passion of teaching music, maths, physics and English with anyone - I'm interested in becoming a tutor 😊
I've volunteered for two farms - one was a petting zoo in New Zealand when I was eleven years old, and another was a ranch in Denmark earlier this year. I have always loved animals, and am really happy working with them.
--------------------------------
So far, workaway has been one of the best decisions I've ever made - I am so grateful to all the people I've had the chance to connect with :-)

The farm is beautiful, and all the animals are friendly and clearly very loved. Some of my favorite moment was during the evenings when us workawayers had cooked dinner, and Ole offered us some wine. He is great company, and I really appreciated that he would try giving us… read more
