Description
Hi! My name is Julie I'm 62. Don't be deceived by my age. Young at heart, active and energetic, love a laugh and an adventure. I've lived in Cambodia for 3 years in 2013 helping the Cambodian people. I ran a cleaning business with about 12 Cambodian ladies. All profits went to my staff to help them have a bit of a better life. My 2nd in charge was handed over the business when I left Cambodia in 2016. I walked the Camino The St James Way in May 2015 from France to Spain and loved it so much then in 2018 walked from Portugal to Spain. I stumbled across this website and here I am now seeing so many different opportunities of experiencing life. My son and I did a workaway in France with a English family our first experience and loved it. I carried on to Greece and my son went home and I went to a island called Skyros working with Skyrian horses and loved it. Then I went onto Italy and worked on a goat farm milking goats and making goat cheese. That was a amazing experience. I lived in the UK for 3 years and work as a carer and got back to Australia February 2020. I was doing aged care live in and loved it but stopped as I got a injury. I now do Uber foods and rent rooms out in my house to different walks of life. I will be doing another Camino walk in May 2024 and from there I will look forward to doing some workaways.

I'm so sorry this has taken awhile to give my feedback. I was there in end of May and was only staying a couple of weeks in ended up being 6 or 7 weeks. It was the best experience ever. Working with goats was amazing and working in the factory with the ladies was great to. Hand language was good as I didn't speak Italian. Paloa and Gianni were… read more

I was heavily pregnant with my 4th child when Julie and jack came to stay with us and they were true to their word. Julie had promised I could "put my feet up" and I could have done, as she worked tirelessly in the house for me. Every aspect of cleaning, laundry, window cleaning, gardening, dog walking as well. She and Jack were a pleasure to have… read more

Sorry this has taken so long. My son and I was with Violet and Paul and family and Matic the stablehand in April for about 3 weeks. What a wonderful family. Violet and the children picked us up from the ferry. They were like long lost relatives. They made us very welcome in their home. The work wasn't hard at all and they were very easygoing… read more

Sorry my feedback is late. I was there in May for about 3 weeks. Manolis and Marion were a lovely couple. Marion was only there a couple of days while I was there. If you like roughing it in a tent which was great except when it rained this is for you. The work wasn't hard and they had confidence in you with the horses even when you didn't have… read more
