Description
Hello Workaway community! I am currently traveling in New Zealand and looking for ways to learn more about the country and develop my skills and interests. I was working on management at a cooking school before taking a year off to travel.

I have worked and volunteered in a variety of contexts including small diversified vegetable farms and homesteads, hospitality, writing/editing, user experience/customer research and administrative capacities. I have owned & managed rental properties and house/pet sit.

I love sharing meals, outdoor adventures, exploring new areas and caring for animals & plants.

What else ...
Travel adventure memories I often return to are hitchhiking around Eastern Canada and backpacking/trekking in the wilderness of Norway, Alaska and the Pacific Northwest. I am deeply connected to the outdoors, the therapeutic effect of nature and am dedicated to leading an active lifestyle. I find wellbeing and meaning in trail running, hiking, water sports (kayaking, rafting, canoeing, SUP), learning about local flora and fauna, cooking, film, reading practicing yoga and deepening my spiritual practice.

A few additional interests/areas I would like to explore more, both independently and with others: non-violent communication/self-growth and interpersonal growth in general, massage, meditation, acroyoga, creative expression, feminism and women's empowerment.

I can also share recipes, outdoor exploration, music and support:)

Adrienne took a real interest in the farm and cheerfully took on a variety of tasks (including sorting sheep through a race on a cold rainy night). Every job undertaken was completed with great attention to detail. Adrienne is a very good communicator, got on well with the other Woofers, is thoughtful and positive in her work and interactions. We… read more

My heart was full staying with Jon and Evelyn. They are incredibly kind and thoughtful people. You can feel all the love they put into their property and their animals. I stayed with them for ten days and shared the very comfortable workaway quarters with two couples for part of my stay - it was one of the highlights of my travels in NZ. The work… read more

I stayed at Romy and Michael's for two weeks to care for their animals and home while they were away. I can't speak to the typical work-trade experience, but I can say that the property is beautiful and Romy is an excellent communicator. She has a tons of knowledge to share about plants. It was fun to go to the local trivia quiz with Romy and her… read more

Adrienne stayed with us for two weeks, and took responsibility for animal care so we could take a break way during her stay.
She's responsible & reliable and our two cats adored her.
We'd gladly welcome her back if she returns to New Zealand

What can I say, Adrienne was one of our best workaway guests. Primarily, she is self-motivating and quickly found her niche on the farm. Accomplished at everything she took on, a great communicator, able to navigate the personalities on the farm. She took the bounty of our veg garden and orchards and made the most amazing dinners and integrated… read more

I arrived on the farm in mid-spring, expecting to only stay a few days but ended up staying for about 3 months. I could not have imagined a better place to be during the height of of the pandemic. I met many interesting, FUNNY and kind people from diverse backgrounds. I bonded with the two sweet dogs, chickens, peacocks and goats. Plus the sunsets… read more

I had a lovely stay. It was pretty quiet after Semana Santa so I got to spend time with the lovely Veronique, her boyfriend JP and their many sweet dogs and cats :) This is a great opportunity for French or Spanish language practice. If you are an independent person or couple looking for a calm, gorgeous environment, this the place!

Adrienne was a wonderful addition to our newly opened hostel. Her enthusiastic and friendly attitude made it easy to ask her for help and she was always available and willing to offer assistance with daily tasks including cleaning and setting up breakfast. She is an intelligent young woman with an openness and refreshing positivity that makes it… read more

I had the pleasure of staying with Veronica and Sedat the first day they opened the hostel and watching the space come to life. The accommodations are clean and comfortable. The location is super convenient for buses and grocery stores. I set up breakfast and helped welcome guests. Sedat and Veronica are both sweet, thoughtful and helpful, I would… read more
