Description
Hi! My name's Cate, I'm 21, British, and currently living in NZ.
I'm very interested in eco-projects, and also have experience in working at campsites, farms, a Buddhist meditation centre, hostels and I've spent a lot of time working as an au pair. From these experiences I've learnt some construction and landscaping, gardening, cooking for large groups, childcare and organising activities for guests.
In my free time I'm very active and love hiking, skiing, climbing, running, yoga and swimming. I also sew a lot of my own clothes and have been learning to make pottery, and I'm really interested in learning more about off-grid living.
I'm a quick learner, love working outside and happy to get my hands dirty :)Interests

What else ...
Caring for the environment is very important to me. I cycle lots, eat vegan/veggie food and I'm careful about the consequences of my actions on the environment. Being around more people who share these values is something I'd really like.
