Description

Looking for someone who would like to join me on a roadtrip starting around Brisbane in March. I would like to travel north and maybe also to the west coast.

Heyy:) My name is Tara and I'm 21 years old. I'm living in Switzerland and will start studying Landscape Architecture in Autumn of 2025. Before I commit to my studies, I want to go travelling again, to refresh my mind and find to myself a little more.
I’m a really creative person, enjoy to plan new projects and I am an excited leader of scouts. I love to be out in the nature and always excited for adventures of any kind.

Tara was just fabulous in every way! Always willing to do anything asked and super efficient and onto it. She was able to work unsupervised which was also a great advantage for us. Friendly with all our guests and staff alike, we really enjoyed her company.

Work involved housekeeping and kitchen-handing in our busy resort.

We would love to have … read more

I spent almost 3 weeks in the rainforest with Sally and Steve and totally enjoyed my time there. Sally and Steve are very welcoming and make sure you have everything you need during your stay.
I eather worked in housekeeping at mornings or did around one hour of cleaning in the morning and then helped in the kitchen in the evening. Work really … read more

I had an absolutely awesome time with Lisa, Wes, their daughter Jasmin and the other Workaways. The family is so kind and I felt welcomed immediately. They try to give you the opportunities to explore as much as possible and Wes would give us rides to the beach for surfing when he had time. I also did some hikes with the neighbours which are very … read more

Tara was an absolute joy to host. She was very enthusiastic in the garden and an incredibly talented artist. Her warm personality was a hit with all of our house members and guests. She was adaptable to all the tasks we needed her for and happy to help with everything. Tara’s communication skills were fantastic and I hope our paths cross again

After picking up Tara from the airport I tried to help her feel at home by playing the BEST F-----G YODELING mix on spotify. I was pretty sure this was gonna be a huge hit and she would be super thankful to me for being so thoughtful. As it turned out, she "doesn't even like yodeling." Despite her displeasure, she has been quite tolerant as we … read more

I absolutely love this place. Mark is really welcoming and open minded. He wants you to go exploring in your free time and has lots of beautyful places to recommend. We did fun trips almost every afternoon and it is really easy to get around as the workawayers share a car. The place itself is very beautyful too, so you could also spend lots of … read more

I have spent 4 weeks in this little paradise and it felt like a dream. I lived in a tiny home near the house, that was placed right next to a wonderful surfing beach. Elana and Jerrett are wonderful people with happy and creative minds. We had some really interesting talks about art stuff. I was also lucky to be part of a small art festival they … read more

I've spent one month with Lia and Rob and I have rarely met such a kind family before. They make you feel like home immediately and I fell in love with the big garden and the house. You can't imagine how beautiful the house is, for real, it has so much space and lots of plants.
The work is mostly gardening and housework. You have to work 25 hours … read more

I have spent 3 weeks at Kelly's ranch and it was a great experience. She is a really kind person who wishes the best for everyone. I have learned a lot about ranch life, especially horses and herding cattle. Every morning and evening we had to take care of the animals and in between we helped with riding lessons or did other tasks like cleaning, … read more
