Description
Heyya!

I'm Stien, a 27 years old Dutchie. I have been traveling/working for 7 months in Australia now and I absolutely love it. Especially the combination of working/volunteering/traveling makes my experience in Australia great. Traveling is lovely, but to be usefull for someone now and then makes it even better.

I consider myself a social but calm person, but once I finally feel really comfortable there's a small change I start showing crazy dance moves while doing the dishes or grab my guitar and play a song for you.

I love having nice conversations with my host and getting to know eachother, that's what makes a work away experience special for me.

First I was planning to stay for just one week, but I liked it some much that I extended my stay one more week. It's a stunning peacefull place to be. I didn't have a car, but Ross went to Byron Bay sometimes and took me with him and dropped me of. Other times he suggested to go for a walk somewhere beautiful or grap the bikes.

It was a delight to host Stien with her bright personality, willing work-ethic and enthusiasm to tackle all manner of tasks. In the two weeks on the farm she completed hedging, weeding, mulching, pressure-cleaning, house cleaning and various landscaping jobs. At all times she proved herself to be reliable, punctual and totally honest. The fact… read more

Stientje was a positive pillar for me during a challenging time. She's a hardworking woman; ripped up carpets and painted like a professional, without hesitation. During her stay she was always considerate, polite and willing to lend a hand. Stientje, personifies the workaway spirit - I highly recommend her to other workaway hosts.

Staying with Sarah was my first Work Away experience but a good one! I felt comfortable and at home the whole week. We had nice talks, she took me to a local pub to watch footie and to a party in Brisbane. We ate diner together every evening which she prepared.
