Kia ora, I'm Nushka, a 24-year-old from Paekākāriki, Aotearoa/New Zealand, currently living on a beautiful lifestyle property in Hawke’s Bay, Aotearoa/New Zealand. I’ve had the privilege of traveling to many parts of the world, and continuing to explore new places is one of my greatest dreams!
With a Bachelor’s degree in Fashion Design and experience in the sustainable design industry, I’m passionate about conscious creativity and love to apply these skills wherever I go. But above all, my heart belongs to adventure, meeting new people, and immersing myself in different cultures.
I’ve always been passionate about animals, and have had the joy of caring for many over the years. From fostering and adopting to managing a farm, I have hands-on experience with a wide range of animals—dogs, cats, goats, chickens, ducks, pigs, and more!
I’m excited to continue my travels and contribute my skills, energy, and enthusiasm to meaningful projects. Whether it’s helping with gardening, animal care, creative work, or anything in between, I’m eager to dive into new experiences and connect with like-minded people.Interests

More details about your skills
Professionally I have skills in design, online content, website design, sustainable fashion and creativity. My passion is within the sustainable fashion industry, and I hope to one day open a shop. I love to create spaces online for businesses to express their content (social media, websites etc) and if you need any help with this, I would love to assist!
I have also been brought up volunteering at animal shelters with my Mother who is a qualified vet nurse. I would assist with cleaning, feeding, walking and giving lots of love. We have been fostering and adopting animals into our home for as long as I can remember, from dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, ducks, rats and recently goats! I also 'animal-sit' for families - looking after their animals while they are away (feeding, walking, cleaning, giving medication etc).
I also love to cook and bake, and spend time in the garden (I still have a lot to learn, but my green thumb Mother and qualified landscaper/horticulturist Father have taught me as much as I know so far!).
My goal is to go back home to New Zealand and run our farm with my Mother, so I am open and keen to learn as much as possible to bring home with me.Age
