Description
I'm from a small mountain town in Australia, an animal lover and enjoy spending hours in the garden and getting my hands dirty working on other projects whenever I can. I love being outdoors and learning new skills, and am not afraid of working hard and using my hands. I am interested in experiencing different areas of the world and ways of living, learning new skills as I travel while also applying the ones I already have.

Emma was an absolutely fantastic workawayer . She is extremely bright and was able to trouble shoot and solve technical and practical problems for us which has confounded our volunteers.

This included working out how to set the timings on an automatic door for our free range geese.

She helped paint two rooms in the house and worked… read more

I stayed with Sasha and Sal for about 3 months, and had a great time. Their idyllic lakeside property full of animals is like something out of a story book, and is perfect if you need to reconnect with nature. As a visitor to the UK, you'll be able to experience a more down to earth side of England not found in the typical tourist locations and… read more

It was a pleasure to have Emma staying with us. She was really into gardening and after our first walk aroundthe space I felt that I can trust her to take her own initiative and she's done great work coming up with planting ideas, helped with the chicken compost system and made our dog, Talpi the happiest dog ever. Also, really enjoyed a laid back… read more

While there I helped in the garden planting seeds, pruning trees, adding compost and mulch to the garden, and various other tasks, as well as learning about permaculture and his forest garden concepts while doing so. Talpi and I went on some little… read more

We had a great time staying with Marco, although it was only possible for 2 nights due to how our schedules aligned. He provided us with a private studio room in his B&B, and helped us visit the town and amazing local waterfall in our short stay.
We picked dried lavender off stems, collected olives and repainted a fence while there, making use of… read more

I had Emma and Andrej in my house only for 2 days, but the experience was excellent.
They are a really nice guys, calm, respectful, understanding and very good workers.
They did a perfect painting of a gate, and other small works in a good way without stop before to finish.

I gave them one of my studios with kitchen and breakfast for tourists,… read more
