Description

Born and raised in New Zealand, I am 26 years old and currently travelling around Europe and the UK (I have dual New Zealand and UK citizenship).
I love the outdoors and am always willing to try new things to experience new places and develop new skills. I am friendly, approachable and love meeting new people from all around the world.
Travelling is something I have enjoyed from a young age, and I take every opportunity I can to explore different parts of the world!

More details about your skills

Between March 2020 to early May this year I worked predominantly in the production side of the wine industry in New Zealand. This has involved working 3 harvests in both the winery and vineyard, as well as supervising and helping manage the seasonal work in vineyards throughout the winter pruning and summer growing seasons.

For approximately 8 months in 2022/early 2023, I worked for AJ Hackett Bungy New Zealand in the Frontline Sales and Service department (which was a super fun place to work to say the least!). My role here included product sales, payment processing and cash handling, greeting and hosting customers on site, organising and communicating with large multi-national groups of all ages, managing customer expectations and harnessing and weighing customers.

Prior to March 2020, I was travelling extensively throughout Europe, and predominantly based myself in Italy. It was here that I did two workaways: I volunteered for approximately 3 months in a hostel in Genova - the jobs were mainly comprised of reception work, welcoming and advising guests on things to do in the area as well as general housekeeping and cleaning of the hostel. I also worked as an au pair in Rapallo, Italy for just under 3 months - I had extremely positive experiences for both workaways, and would love to do something similar again!

My family have owned a bed and breakfast accommodation business for the past 10 years in Marlborough, NZ. I have worked in the business helping with housekeeping, including cleaning rooms and assisting and welcoming guests from all over the world.

I love learning new languages and while basing myself in Italy I made it a priority to learn as much of the language as I could during my time there - so I would welcome any opportunity to continue learning more (italian and other languages) in the future!
