Sydney, Australia - from Feb 2026 until Feb 2026 View all
Description
Hello, my name is Julia and I am currently traveling around the world with my husband Oliver. We are currently touring Australia on a work and holiday visa. We have already worked on a pineapple farm and at a landfill site. As we love animals, we have done some house sitting and looked after large and small dogs, as well as cats. At home in Germany, we live in a village and enjoy gardening and DIY—in 2021, we converted a van into a camper. We also like to do woodwork and have already built a storage shelf for jars and a raised bed. In addition to gardening and DIY, our hobbies include cycling and skiing. Our differences lie in the fact that Oliver likes to tinker with his moped or work with his cordless screwdriver and jigsaw, while I (Julia) like to muck out the chicken and rabbit coops and get my hands dirty in the garden.
