Description
Kia ora!
My name is Zoe. I grew up in a small town, and popular wine reigon in the beautiful South Island of New Zealand. surrounded by nature, ocean and animals from a young age I was lucky enough to learn a lot that isn't taught in schools! We had lots of animals on the farm, which I would love spending time with, and later we planted a vineyard. I worked in the family vineyard for most of my early to teenage years, helping grow the grapes for our sav blanc wine, there was always lots to do! In may 2017 I packed up my life for my first big OE travel adventures and expansion. I travelled around europe and then moved to London, England, then followed my heart again and moved to Montréal, QC, Canada. Living in Montréal, I went back to school, learning French, and making memories with new chosen family, growing and learning within myself, and making the best out of the chilly beautiful winters! When I returned home to Aotearoa, New Zealand, I begain traveling the country from bottom to top as often as I could, often taking seasonal backpacker jobs in any place I felt to stop, from Winery cellar work, kiwifruit orchards, beautician at local spa and more, the point was to expand my horizons, learn new skills and meet new friends along the way. Along my travels thus far I've had the pleasure of meeting many amazing people, learning so much about myself, others and lots of subjects, cultures and nature, I've learned countless new skills and had invaluablelife experiences... Far from being done, I'm even more excited for life, travel and learning than ever.
I am now traveling again, next is Thailand, then Estonia, with room to expand further for the right fitting projects. I have a huge passion for living sustainability, peacefully and living with the least harm to all beings. Compassion, honesty and kindness are very important for me.
I am interested in organic gardening, eco projects , permaculture, regenerative planting systems, organic, creative, musical and off-grid living, community projects, cacao farming and processes (as I am a craft chocolate maker, with my brand back in NZ).
I'm especially interested in having chats/learning-In practice about Cacao farming and processes, local village life, local crafts people/artisans, environmental regeneration, permaculture, food forests, gardening and holistic health. I choose to live a simple, plant powered (vegan) life.
I am happiest around nature, wholesome people, and animals. I look forward to meeting you soon,
Have a sunny day!

More details about your skills
I have grown up on a small farm in Rural New Zealand, so have learned from a young age how to help out with animals, gardening, general outdoors work, so am not afraid to get my hands dirty! I have recently lived in London, England, and in different parts of Canada, so have plemty of city & street smarts as well. I am good with creating meals from simple, wholefood ingredients, the more colours the better! I am very open to learning all the new skills I can learn, from improving/expanding my French, Māori, Estonian and English language skills, to cooking, learning, un-learning, anything is possible, I have an open mind!
