Description

(っ◔◡◔)っ♥ After spending a couple of wonderful years in Australia working in tourism & research on the Great Barrier Reef, I returned back to the UK in June 2020 feeling a little lost.

In August 2020 I travelled to mainland Europe for 4 months doing Workaways which I absolutely loved!

These workaways consisted of gardening, cleaning rooms, renovating old buildings, all whilst trying to improve my french speaking skills.

Returned back to UK end of 2020, and in 2021 spent 3 months in Portugal doing some amazing Workaways, mainly gardening but also some basic carpentry .
2022 - I managed to return to Australia to work back on the Great Barrier Reef!
July 2025 - I plan to leave Australia for a good while to explore Asia & Europe (undecided just yet)

** I'm a hard worker and will ALWAYS take my duties as a Workawayer first!**

I'm a warm & relaxed character who loves exploring anywhere, but especially in the sea!

I'm a passionate ocean advocate and try to live as sustainable as I can.

I also love to
- exercise & being outdoors, whether it's running or hiking or anything else
- SCUBA dive & freedive (I'm an instructor worked in the industry for 6 years)
- connect with like-minded people who can inspire me to become a better person and to learn something new

I'm not vegetarian or vegan but I would happily give up meat & dairy if required, I spent a month in Bali without eating meat & it was a great experience!
