Description
Hello I'm Holly! I'm from London and work as an outdoor educator and bushcraft leader for children and young people. I'm taking a little trip away before the season starts to warm up my hiking boots and would love to do a workaway to get involved in some kind of project and meet some new people. I did quite a few workaways years ago when I travelled after school and just had the best time and met so many amazing people. This was mostly hostel work and au pairing, but this time round I'm particularly interested in sustainability projects, building/DIY, art projects and places a bit more off-grid. I love being outdoors and spend a lot of time hiking/camping but now I'm really looking to learn some more practical working skills in the outdoors!

More details about your skills
I'm great with children/young people and know a fair bit about forest school and outdoor education.
Can teach some basic survival skills and bushcraft.
I've had lots of different service jobs in the past - bar, restaurant, hostel, reception, barista, retail, cleaning etc. so can do most things in this sphere.
I've worked as an events planner and am quite good at organising things
I've got good grammar and writing skills so happy to help with any copywriting/editing in English.
I used to live on a houseboat so I have some skills and knowledge relating to boating and off-grid living in general.
I've done some work on farms and vineyards through workaway so I have a little knowledge there but really keen to learn some more.
I'm also a bit musical if that helps!Languages
