Description
Hello! I’m Lou - a 31-year-old Australian with dreams to explore the world.
I am excited to be a part of many different volunteer projects, where I hope to learn new skills while also utilising my strengths. I love meeting new people and experiencing something different and challenging. I am at a point in my life where I am ready to face the unknown and grow and develop as a person while getting a bit lost in what the world has to offer!

Lou has been an excellent volunteer. She is very organized, brings great energy and spirit and is very helpful in many ways. Having had her here for 4 weeks was a real blessing.

My experience at the retreat center was what one could only call magic! The communication prior to arrival with Floris was thoughtful and comprehensive, I felt well equipped with information and what would be expected of me as a volunteer.

I am beyond grateful for the myriad of wonderful experiences at Taman Resort. I spent just under three months there and would describe my journey as no less than life changing. I had the opportunity to teach yoga to resort guests, offer Zenthai Shiatsu massage to the staff, as well as design the visual identity and website for the resort’s new sub… read more

It’s been a wonderful week staying and volunteering with Chris. Chris is a warm and gentle-natured human who has a beautiful outlook on life. It was amazing to spend time with him, hear his incredible life stories and what he’s been through to get where he is today.

It was a pleasure to have Lou helping me for a week at my property. She fitted into my bush lifestyle very easily and was quick to learn new skills she was unfamiliar with. It was great having interesting and intelligent talks during her stay. Lou was a great help cleaning and organising my place and building some cement foundations for my shed.… read more

Volunteering at KP was an incredible experience and completely different to what I could have expected it to be. Even though the retreat itself is gorgeous - filled with beautiful nature, yoga classes and amenities - it was the connected and like-minded volunteers that made the experience unmatched to any other. There’s a special community within… read more

Ahhh where do I begin with Magda... such an incredibly creative, independent, strong and inspiring woman. It has been an absolute pleasure to stay at her beautiful and vast home, where she has built magical pathways and pretty nooks full of flowers, homegrown veges, fruits and herbs. Spending time with Magda and her many friendly furry family… read more

You couldn't ask for better! Louise stayed with me for two weeks and I hope she comes back in the future. I found her easy to communicate with about work tasks, physically very strong and also careful and responsible in all she did. She fitted in like family here, having an easy going and cheerful way of interacting with others, and also all the… read more
