Description
Hi, my name is Cherine.

I'm an optometrist from London (: My passions are photography, travelling, giving back and working with animals with a strong interest in sustainable permaculture and deepening my spiritual journey.

I have been blessed to have been able to travel and volunteer in many different countries, and immerse myself in new cultures and environments. Some past volunteer/workaway experiences have included building houses in Guatemala, teaching English in Cambodia and Thailand, farming at a permaculture homestead in New Zealand, working with horses in England, volunteering with a vervet monkey sanctuary in South Africa and helping in an orphanage in Moldova.

I love hiking, spending time outdoors and connecting with mother nature. Connection is important to me and I very much enjoy meeting people from all walks of life and hearing their stories - coupled with learning new skills is the reason I find WorkAwaying such a fun and soul enriching experience! I'm easy going, friendly, efficient and self motivated - happy to try my hand at anything and look forward to getting stuck in to any project! :)

Mark's conservative efforts with replanting trees and rewilding land was deeply moving and inspiring - he's a selfless, generous and kind soul and i highly recommend stopping here to help out on this beautiful, tree filled corner of NZ. Work was predominantly weeding old man's beard with axes (great in gaining arm muscles 😛), its a place with… read more

Cherine es una chica muy muy muy divertida, muy buenísima onda, siempre sonriendo y haciéndonos reír, nos ayudó mucho en el riego de la chacra. Nos hubiera gustado mucho que se quede más tiempo. Definitivamente nunca te vas a aburrir con ella, muy alegre, activa y divertida!

Staying at casa Redouane felt more like a cultural exchange and a home away from home. We were spoilt by Hajars cooking, the tagines and couscous were *chefs kiss. The sand dunes around the village are magical, it felt like a little oasis in the desert with all the palm trees. I'll never forget my first night watching the sunset from the top of a… read more

Cherine stayed with us just for a week but during this time we did a lot of things. She is really positive person and with a lot of curiosity and motivation about all the tasks. It was a big pleasure to meet her. I think it is great that Cherine used her short work holidays to do workaway. Hope we meet again!

My time with Yulia, Miguel and Amalia was short but very sweet. They're wonderful, generous, kind-hearted people, and I loved my stay with them. My work was varied and very interesting, I harvested chestnuts, made cob (mixing together sand, clay and straw to fill holes), I mulched, gardened, planted seeds.. No day was boring!

I was really made to… read more

Cherine was sorely missed by us all as soon as she left. It was a brief stay but we were all instantly taken by her - the family, the animals and the long-established herd of workawayers resident.

Cherine is kind calm diligent and hard working. We felt guilty how many hours she devoted to the various projects and in addition tirelessly helped… read more

I had a short but very memorable and beautiful stay with Rebecca, Johnny and Celia. They were so welcoming & kind - Rebecca is a host who really cares about her workawayers and I miss the lovely chats, tasty meals and boogies we all shared in the cosy kitchen.

Unfortunately my heart was stolen by their two beautiful puppies, they were loving and… read more

Cherine came the time after I just gave a birth to my baby girl. She really helped me a lot with the housework and I was glad to have her company at that time. Many thanks to Cherine.

I stayed with yu zhen and her family for a week and really loved my time there. Chores were very easy - mopping the floor every other day and hanging/folding laundry. As yu zhen had just recently had a baby she needed my help in taking Remy (her four yr old) to the lobby every morning for his school bus and collecting him in the afternoons. Remy… read more
