  • Description

    I am in Newcastle, Australia.

    I have been involved with organic farming in England, Australia and most recently Newzealand, I would love to learn more about this and other types of farming including animals.

    I have a background in working with young people in the UK and teaching Art and Skateboarding.

    I studied Crafts to Masters level in England and specified in natural and traditional ways of making Art. I love clay and used to dig naturally from the ground.

    I love animals and working with the land, I appreciate a healthy meal made from local fruits and vegetables.

    I enjoy socialising and sharing food with others and exchanging stories and learning from each other.

    I work hard and have had many outdoor jobs in gardening and trimming, weeding. And I would love to expand on this interest for working outdoors. I also have many indoor skills including painting and decorating and domestic skills in cooking and cleaning.

    I have returned to Australia on my 2nd year working holiday visa from the UK. I would like to pursue my interest in youth work after enjoying my time working in a school there in the Northern Territory with young Aboriginal and Strait Island Torres people. I am also keen to learn more about different cities I stay in on workaways to get a feel for places I may like to stay longer.
