Travelling
Description

Hi there! My name is Adria, and I am an avid traveler, environmentalist, and lover of life. I currently live in Auckland, and plan to work and travel around New Zealand in 2025/26. I enjoy hiking, reading a good book (currently on The Four Agreements), meeting new people, painting everything from plates to teapots, and spending time with my loved ones. Likewise, I am passionate about our Earth and aim to leave it better than I found it, in true Leave No Trace fashion. I am anti-plastic, anti-overconsumption, anti-pollution, and believe a better world is possible through collective care and action.

I studied at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire from 2015 to 2019 and got my Bachelor of Science in Environmental Geography. I chose this field because the Earth, its complex workings, and how people interact with it fascinate me. I also love a good map and visual analysis of spatial phenomena!

I hope this tells you a little about me, though, as with everyone, there’s more to discover. Thanks for reading, I’m happy you stopped by.

More details about your skills

I previously worked on an all-natural farm in Michigan for two years, growing organic vegetables and supervising the washing and packaging of 500-700 pounds of vegetables per day. I also weeded, harvested, pruned plants, germinated seeds, watered, and winterized the farm. This year, I volunteered on a farm in Hawaii for three months, learning how to grow tomatoes and cucumbers, as well as greenhouse maintenance, basic farm repair, and tractor operation. I thrive in physical roles and enjoy the challenges of rural life. No matter where I work, I bring energy, curiosity, and respect for the land. I also love learning and am eager to expand my agricultural repertoire.

It was such a pleasure to stay with Steffi, Hōri, Mātai-Nuku, and Momo-Aio. They are some of the most caring people I have ever met, and I feel so lucky to have spent so much time with them! They were always very considerate of me, making sure I was good with the work, letting me switch things up if I got bored with a task, and taking my learning … read more

Adria has been a very special workaway for us. She stayed for five weeks, which was the longest ever staying workaway for us. Everything with her simply flowed. She was super respectfull of our private space but we also spent a lot freetime together going to markets, visiting family or local spots. We had beautiful deep conversations and some good … read more

It was such a pleasure to plant native trees with David and co.! David is kind, knowledgeable, and fair, and the work was tough at times, but rewarding! He also patiently answered all of my questions and taught me a lot about native trees. I also planted with David and Helen's friends and family, which was absolutely lovely. Helen made some … read more

The world should have more Adrias! Adria was easy to have around the house, interested in what we were doing, fitted in easily with other guests we had helping, and really pitched in with our native tree planting - which involved both mud and cold - with a refreshing team spirit and a easy grasp of the vision. We wish her well with her time in NZ … read more

Adria was with us for a short time and a great help doing some rather mucky cleaning. Adria worked hard and helped put a dent in cleanup we have had far overdue in our home and storeroom. Gritty our doggo loved her walks and company. Thanks for the visit and help
