More details about your skills
Kiara: I have experience working in hospitality (waitressing and housekeeping), gardening/ farming, grounds/maintenance and sales. I am also well versed in biology and chemistry lab procedures and analytical techniques, but that may not be relevant! I can plaster, sand, paint, garden, and do some basic construction. I am also well-versed in customer service and communication. I’ve also held many teaching positions in University and abroad and have a long history of volunteer work, including medical work that has resulted in basic medical training. I’ve also worked on a few farms, gardening, fencing, irrigating, etc. I am fit, fast-learning, hard-working and easy-going. I'm also an extrovert who loves working with/for people and am comfortable thinking on my feet.
Age
27
What else ...
I am formally trained as a biochemist with years of biotech research experience, and I have a passion for all things science-related. I also dabble in the arts, including song, dance, drawing, painting, glass etching, wood burning and metal engraving.

I live a very people-centered life and enjoy living, working, and relaxing with others. I love being challenged and having intellectual discussions. I also love nature and being outside and especially enjoy tramping, skiing/snowboarding, kayaking and rock climbing.

Want to go adventure? Let's do it! I love trying new things, being put in new situations and learning new skills, especially in good company!

Kiara and Nyeem were last minute workaways and only here for a couple days...which wasnt near long enough so we have had them promise to look us up when/if they are in the area again. They are both friendly, conscientious, great communicators and great at pitching in to help out... they did some staining of wood, sheep work and meal prep/clean-up.… read more

Jay and John (and Charlie, their adorable dog) were incredible hosts! They took us in on very short notice and provided us with a beautiful apartment - king bed, living room with a massive smart TV, fully equipt kitchen, washing and drying machines and our own bathroom with a bathtub/shower! Going in, they were very clear about their expectations… read more

Absolutely delightful couple. They are very mature and respectful for their young age. I had them doing gardening and painting and old couch. They were brilliant. I even had to tell them to stop gardening in the rain. They cooked a wonderful meal for us to share, plus a great game of Trivial pursuit 1989 edition lol.
I would have them back in a… read more

I stayed at this workaway for just over a week, and wished I could have stayed longer! Whaea Lisa was passionate and excited about farm projects, the future of the land, and sharing her culture. Our tasks varied daily, from pulling up round beans to moving a chicken coop to building a kitchen. I learned a lot and gained a lot of inspiration for… read more

Kiara has been amazing! From the first day we were so happy to have her around. She is a very positive person with a good work attitude. She helped us selling fruits 3 days a week and did her work properly, always happy to give us a hand and do more than we asked for. She was a great addition to our volunteer house.. helping out cooking, cleaning.… read more

Spent an incredible two weeks in the dynamic, multi-cultural community in Waihi. The work was easy and I loved sitting in the sun connecting happy people to local fruits. On days off (4 days/week!), I got to explore waterfalls, beaches, mountains and towns with the other awesome volunteers. Within a few days at this workaway, I settled into a… read more
