Description
Kia ora, I'm Melinda, a traveller from Aotearoa New Zealand with a passion for new experiences. I love taking my time when I travel and spending several weeks really getting to experience a place.

A few things I enjoy on my travels are hiking, climbing. swimming (especially in cold water!) tasty new food and live music. I'm looking for unique experiences and the chance to connect with others - I love hearing an interesting travel story!

I am a big nature lover and have an interest in eco-friendly and sustainable ways of living and would love to learn from folks who make these values part of their day-to-day.

Melinda was a fantastic Workaway.
She was a great sport in that the majority of work to be done during her stay was weeding. She was thorough, doing a great job each day. I had to leave for work many days during her stay but I would always return to everything be completed!

I helped with gardening work (weeding, edging beds, clearing overgrowth etc) to get the land prepared for the summer season. It was enjoyable work and Zach gave me a variety of tasks so I was never bored. Stuart the dog was a total sweetie and made a great TV… read more

I had the best month in this incredible surf hostel! The other staff were wonderful and the chill, family vibe of the hostel is like no other.

The work required was clearly explained… read more
