Description
I am originally from a small island, called Jersey, but have been living in Australia for around 7 years now. I am currently based in the Northern Territory, where I study social work.

I have spent the last few years moving around and love being outdoors - hiking, going to the beach, camping etc - as well as cooking, yoga, running and meeting new people :)

I try to travel as much as I can and am starting 2025 with a few months in India. I am planning to complete a meditation course and would like to do some hiking. I would also love to find a workaway with the opportunity for riding/horse care, having grown up with horses as a child.

- I spent 8 months working with vulnerable kids in northern Australia. I absolutely loved my job and learnt a lot from those I worked with - about trauma, escalation management and the importance of taking a person centred approach.

• I have over 3 years experience in hospitality and 1.5 years experience in admin. I have strong customer service and organisational skills, and can pick up work in these sectors quickly.
• I drove around, and across, Australia solo. I can keep calm under pressure, use my my initiative in difficult situations and am very resilient!
• I have good English/communication skills and love writing. Whilst I don’t have lots of online experience, I am always keen to learn and would love to get involved with producing social media content/blogs.
• I grew up with horses and have a good knowledge of horse care/riding. This is a love that extends to other animals as well!

I had a fantastic time at the riding club. Jagadeesh, Emma, Chandu and their family made me feel so welcome - even preparing a special meal of fish for my last day (the food was amazing!).

We got lots of opportunity to ride, which was awesome. The horses are calm and easy to take care of. They were happy to explain anything I didn't know and I… read more

Ella stayed with us for a one week and she was amazing. She adjusted with us very easily and our horses.
From stable maintenance to giving work to the horses she helped us through it all.
The meals we would have together was one our memorable moments with her.
We will miss her and We all wish her the best of luck with her future plans.

I had an amazing Workaway experience with Krishna and Karan. They were exceptional hosts and made me feel so welcome - picking me up from the airport, introducing me to family and friends, and ensuring I was happy/felt at home.

I experienced so much during my week in Gambhirpura. Krishna and Karan went to a lot of effort to share their culture -… read more

I cannot thank Aukje and Arthur enough for making me feel so welcome in their home. I loved my time with them, and their lovely daughters, and would highly recommend staying with them. It was my first workaway and the experience far exceeded my expectations, from the lovely meals and dinner time chats to the development of new skills and… read more

Ella is that golden find- super, super nice, happy, willing to take on anything, super helpful in the house- and just a pure pleasure to have around.
She is very smart- so understands the jobs quick- but more important, she is very good for nice conversations, it is like have a year long friend at the dinner table.
Her first day with us was a… read more
