Description
Hi! My name is Emmy, and I recently graduated from university. I love traveling to new places and meeting new people. I enjoy learning from everyone I meet, and I love having great, deep conversations about life. I am always excited to learn new things, whether that's about farming, building, food, cultures, people, lifestyles, etc. I am happiest when I'm in the outdoors and enjoying nature by hiking, skiing, rafting, and all outdoor activities. I believe everyone you meet has something they can teach you, and I believe all of us in life are just trying to find human connection. I love being with people and having fun, laughing, and having new experiences.

More details about your skills
I have done lots of farming before on various farms in Latin America, Spain, Australia, New Zealand, and the United States. They've mostly been small hobby farms with a few animals and plants to take care of. I have a lot of experience in the outdoors, as I am a white-water rafting guide in the summers in Utah and Arizona. Most of my hobbies are things I like to do outside. I also speak Spanish. I am excited to learn new skills in any way!

Emmy stayed with us for 3 weeks over Christmas and was an absolute joy to have. She helped prepare fence palings for our ceilings and did some cobbing of walls for our house. We spent a lot of time together exploring the area with our kids across the school holidays and they loved having her around. Spending Christmas together was lovely, we… read more

I spent 3 wonderful weeks with Sarah, Corey, Lottie, and Lilly, and it was so great! I learned a lot about natural building and how they've built their straw bale house. I helped build an interior wall using a natural mixture, and I also took apart fence palings and painted them. I loved the work and felt that it was very easy, and I learned a… read more

I spent one week with Jody and Daniel, and it was fabulous. They live on an amazing piece of property right on the river in Bellingen, and it is a gorgeous location. Jody & Daniel were so fun to chat with; they have so many cool stories from their travels, and we also played some fun card games. The work was great and simple; I would help clean,… read more

I stayed with Kaye and her family for 3 weeks and it was incredible! Definitely my favorite workaway experience so far. Kaye, Hamish, and their kids live on a beautiful hill overlooking Mosgiel and Dunedin, and it was such a joy to work on the hill and see super green hills and views. I did lots of potting plants, spraying weeds, helping to plant… read more

Emmy was a delight to host for 3 weeks. Emmy was a willing and competent worker. She has a great work ethic and initiative. I was able to leave her to a task and know that she was going to do a great job in a good timeframe.
Emmy was great with our kids, very easily pleased with meals and a tidy, conscientious guest. She is friendly, interesting,… read more

Such a joy to have hosted Emmy, she worked hard and was a real pleasure to have around the house.

We would 100% recommend her to anyone thinking of having her to be with you for any amount of time.

We were very sad to see Emmy go and wouldn't hesitate to have her back should she be passing by this way.

We wish her the very best in her future… read more

I stayed with Julia & Ian for about two weeks, and it was wonderful. They are kind, generous, and fun-loving people, and we laughed a lot. I helped with pruning olive trees, almond trees, apricot trees, cactus, and more. We chopped wood and fixed the garden hose system. All the work was very manageable and simple. It was fun to work side by side… read more

Emmy was such a joy and a sponge. She wanted to learn everything and a lovely addition to the family. She worked hard as expected, paid attention to detail, stayed focused and was super easy to get along with on a personal level. She always has a home here. Hopefully for longer next time! I have a lot more to show her!

My stay with Synnora and her family was so wonderful. I was only able to stay for two short weeks and I so wish I could have stayed much longer. The work schedule was very clear and consistent, and there was a great balance between work and play. Synnora is a great communicator and gives so much advice, help, tips, and knowledge about farming,… read more

I stayed with Rose and Gene for about a month, and it was wonderful. I felt very welcomed right away, and throughout my whole stay they made me feel like part of the family. This was my first workaway experience, and I learned about taking care of farm animals, including goats, sheep, and chickens. Rose and Gene recently started their small family… read more
