Description

Hey! I’m Ellie from Reading, England. I’ve spent the last four months on the road falling in love with the nature and wildlife of Aotearoa (especially the Tui!). I’d love the opportunity to connect with the local community and learn more about this beautiful part of the world.

I have a background in interior architecture and a couple of years industry experience - but my passions really lie with the outdoors! I’m at my happiest when hiking, swimming, cycling or skiing and I care deeply about the environment, sustainability and living close to the land.

More recently, I’ve spent three winter seasons in the French Alps looking after guests in a chalet preparing meals and housekeeping. When I wasn’t living in the mountains, I ran a food truck, worked in hospitality at events and hiked my way around Peru! I’m adaptable, energetic, hard working and love to learn new skills!

I’d love to get stuck into any DIY projects, painting, gardening, and animal care (I have a real soft spot for cats). I’ve got plenty of professional housekeeping experience and I know my way around the kitchen and love to cook mainly veggie meals.
