Description
I am a teacher and social worker doing workaways during school holidays to explore, meet new friends and learn skills along the way. I am very interested in farming, sustainable communities and permaculture, i also love animals.

I am friendly, outgoing and happy to work on lots of different types of projects. I grew up on a small farm so love being outside, planting vegetables, caring for animals and living with the rhythm of the seasons.

I love hearing people's stories and learning about other countries and cultures.

More details about your skills
I set up a small community farm in Australia with friends to learn about permaculture and growing food, i lived there for three years and learnt a lot about communal living. Now I have my own home with vegie garden, chooks and fruit trees. I am quick to learn and can help with small scale building projects, can use tools and am fit and healthy. I can ride motorcycles and drive cars and tractors.

I have worked in Australia in social support services with lots of different people from many backgrounds and age groups, including people who have fled war as refugees and migrants coming to live in Australia. This has given me skills in empathy, understanding, flexibility and communicating with a wide range of people.

Amy was an absolute joy to have around. She stayed with us for four weeks painting woodwork and gardening dilligently and with good humour. She's very easy to be with: great stories, great craik and looking for ways to help without prompt. We hope to see Amy again if she ever returns to Scotland. Best of luck Amy!

Amy stayed with us just a few weeks but I wish it had been longer! She has a very positive, kind energy, and contributed a lot to the social atmosphere as well as the work environment. Amy is responsible, hard working, and so autonomous - it felt like she had been here two months when she left after two weeks! She will happily offer help in any… read more

Excellent choice to have Amy among your working team! she is a delightful person to work with, to spend your day and chat in the evening. We appreciated her effort and accomplishment in every duty she did, from cleaning the house to staking the wood, working outside in the garden or with the animal. she did everything brilliantly.
