Description

I'm currently living at home in London, but hoping to do some Workaways in South Wales over the summer period.

I'm a keen gardener and for a while had my own allotment where I grew fruit and vegetables organically, practicing the no-dig method. I enjoy growing herbs and flowers too, and love being outside, hiking, and camping. I love to cook and bake and I'm also very crafty. I make clothes, crochet, and embroider. I have taken carpentry classes, and made several items but I am still a beginner! As you can tell, I love to be creative, to learn new skills and I pick things up fast. I'm always happy to share my skills and learn from others - especially hobbies and skills from different places and cultures.

I have volunteered across the UK, NZ, Australia and Canada - decorating houses, looking after children, farming and DIY. In Canada, I stayed off-grid without running water so I'm comfortable with fairly basic conditions as long as the scenery is good :) I'm very open-minded, hardworking and excited about meeting new people and seeing new places!

I had a wonderful time with Wayne and Vicki, and their two dogs! The work was very interesting and I learnt so much about permaculture, food and nutrition. I usually worked between 9am-1pm in the garden with Wayne (mulching, harvesting, weeding and helping with building simple structures) with a generous tea break, and sometimes helped with … read more

Helen and Ian were absolutely brilliant hosts and I feel incredibly lucky to have spent the festive season with them. Straight away I felt like part of the family, with dog walks, pub trips and movie nights with them and their loveable and noisy zoo of cats, dogs and chickens! The work was relaxed and interesting, I helped on the vineyard, planted … read more

We had a wonderful, restorative time with Mark and Maz. They truly embody the spirit of workaway - generosity, sharing knowledge, open-heartedness and fun. Their home is stunning, full of birdsong, flowers and bright stars at night. I loved learning about the incredible work Mark has been doing to restore nature to his little corner of Motueka, … read more
