Travel information

I am currently

Description

Hello all, my name is Louis, a Kiwi born and raised in Aotearoa (New Zealand), but I am half German and half British and hold the passport of the former. Back home I work as a hiking guide and doing conservation work. I love the outdoors and caring for our native species and environment. In 2024/2025 I plan to complete a Masters in Environmental Studies to further this passion but in the meantime I am enjoying travelling.

I am an active and sociable person, enjoying hiking, running, gardening, football, and any adventure thrown my way. I enjoy meeting new people and making connections, but equally I’m happy to keep to myself and read my book. I’m tidy, conscientious, and respectful. Ultimately, I love to learn and would love to be considered for any Workaway opportunities.

More details about your skills

I possess a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology, International Relations and Political Science achieving a spot on the deans list for Academic excellence. During this I developed excellent analytical skills and the ability to effectively process and communicate complex information.

I have 3 years experience working in practical conservation, predominantly pest animal / plant management. As a result of this I am outdoor first aid trained and comfortable working alone in rugged terrain with a GPS and have great navigational skills.

I have also worked in many kitchens ranging from big commercial restaurants to woodfired pizza food carts. This has taught me knife skills, understanding of the processes around preparing and cooking food, and strong communication skills. Additionally, I have a plethora of experience in practical work, including lawnmowing, gardening, landscaping, grape picking, nature walk guiding, and cleaning.

Finally, I have previously completed a couple of WWOOFing placements were I learnt about regenerative agriculture and permaculture practices.

As a side note I am also a keen (35mm) photographer.
