More details about your skills
I am positive and very adaptable. I have worked in many situations and in a range of different environments over the past few years both professionally and as a volunteer. I can work with most types of people and am keen to learn new skills along the way. I have worked on hostel reception, cleaning and laundry at hostels, in cafe's and restaurants, in finance positions, tourism, administration and at call centres. I completed a TEFl certificate and would enjoy teaching experience wherever possible. I have a lot of experience working with people and would enjoy hostel, bar or restaurant work. I also love the outdoors- I hike a lot and am keen to get stuck in doing gardening and planting work. I have previously had great experiences doing building/ gardening Workaway placements in Borneo and Thailand and looking after goats in Nova Scotia and British Columbia. I love meeting people and want to see as much of the world as possible!

What a lovely month staying with this family! Ismael, Peter and the team were so welcoming and it was a great chance to get to know Livingston a bit better. The hotel itself is really nice, and I loved getting to meet new people all the time helping out on reception. The reception work is completely manageable and you get a lot of help, my shift… read more

Thank you to Anya and Phillip for sharing your beautiful home with me!

Staying with them on Quadra island was a lovely experience. I stayed 10 days and did some cleaning jobs, with plenty of time to relax by the sea also. I enjoyed hanging out with them and their happy little girl and beautiful dog. If you want to workaway somewhere peaceful and… read more

Had a fantastic and relaxing time here. Jeff is a kind and thoughtful host and doesn't ask too much of workawayers. The hostel is in a beautiful natural location and the common area is very cosy in the evenings. A lovely opportunity to experience the icefields parkway. Thank you for having me Jeff!

Was just amazing to getting to know Emma, a hard working girl that would not shy back from any task given to her, we will miss her incredible painting skills a lot. Everyone loved her up here and would welcome her back any time. Emma all the best for your future trail in life, was a treat having you up here.

I loved my time here, Ed, Anja, Adrian and Daniella were very welcoming and easy going. I stayed in the cute apartment above the office and enjoyed relaxing and taking the kayak out a couple of times while I was there. The work was mainly site maintenance-taking the garbage out, painting etc and was not too demanding. It was great spending time by… read more

Emma was a total delight to have stay with us. We enjoyed her immensely! She has a lovely, easy going personality, is easy to be with, enjoys conversation and was always very mindful of where and when she could be of help, even beyond her expected hours of working.
Her attitude was always very positive, regardless of the jobs and we were always… read more

The property is very peaceful and the animals are lovely, I was lucky enough to look after them for a few days while Dawn and Russell were away and loved the gentle routine of the homestead.

Thank you Heather and Phil for an extraordinary month and an unforgettably unique experience.

Emma was an absolute delight to have at our small goat dairy mixed farm. I hate using the word 'was' as she left like part of the family. She stayed a month and was extremely helpful, pleasant, hard working and a pleasure to host. I loved our talks as well as her work ethic and sense of humour. I now call her a friend and look forward to staying… read more

I had a wonderful ten day stay here and this lovely hostel very quickly felt like home. Bob and Nancy are welcoming, kind people and I enjoyed the company of the other workawayers and the awesome guests! The cleaning work was very manageable and relaxed and I had plenty of time to see the local area. I will miss it here!
