Description
Hello I am Emma from the UK. I am currently travelling Australia until I go back home in June. I love volunteering as a way to see the world and experience local culture a bit more deeply. I previously volunteered at a marine conservation programme in Bali in a small fishing village, and have done some volunteer work on farms, specifically with garden work. I have 3 younger siblings back home who i love to help look after and watch grow and discover the world for themselves. I love simple living, being surrounded by nature, and card games :) I’m interested in learning more about self sustainability and incorporating that into my life.

Emma was AMAZING! We loved having her in our family.
Whenever Emmal tackles a task she goes all in. Full of initiative and highly committed if you ask her to help you with something you can be sure she'll go above and beyond to do a really thorough job.
Emma cooked for us too and is a great cook. She was great to chat with and we miss having her… read more

I stayed for a couple of weeks and it went by so fast. Fiona Val and Alex are very welcoming and it felt like a home away from home type of stay. The work and hours are very flexible and the area is so nice, there’s some good walks and also transport to the city. Fiona invited me out with her to the cinema and we went mountain biking too. I really… read more

I had such a good time here, Anna and Olaf made me feel extremely welcome and made sure I could see the local area and do everything I wanted, I learnt so much in the 2 weeks I was here and the work is varied and fun.

Emma was an absolute delight to host and we were very sad to see her leave. From brush cutting to chipping, Emma got stuck into all of the different tasks we were carrying out on the farm. She was so respectful and polite and we loved working with her in the kitchen, where we shared some really delicious meals. Her fish taco dish is now on our… read more

Everything she did, every task she was allocated she did with such enthusiasm and she really put her heart into it and took great pride in doing it to the best of her ability. She is a very sociable person, always interacting in such a loving way with… read more

I spent 5 weeks at the farm and enjoyed everyday. This was my first workaway experience so I didn’t really have any expectations but my time there was so lovely annd the work was always easygoing and never too demanding. Everybody is very welcoming and there are other volunteers so the social aspect was really nice. There is such a calming… read more
