Description

Hi, I’m Owain, a 27 year old from Cardiff, Wales. I am an avid traveller and love being outdoors at any opportunity, and currently travelling between New Zealand and Australia on a working holiday visa.

Back home, I work as a TV Director and Videographer, but I’m happy to get involved in any kind of work – from helping around the house to caring for children. I used to work as a football coach (with children aged 4 - 11) for many years during summers at school and university. I play in a few indie bands at home and enjoy other hobbies like watching live music, outdoor sports, and film photography. I’m tidy, friendly, and curious about new cultures – my first language is Welsh and I love learning about other languages too.

I live to travel, and document most of it on my instagram page here! https://www.instagram.com/owain.ffilm/

More details about your skills

I’m a creative individual with a passion for photography and the arts. I’m very sporty and love hiking, running, football, tennis, and spending time outdoors – and I’m a confident driver, happy to explore and help with errands or travel. I’m tidy, reliable, and more than happy to lend a hand with household chores. I also have experience coaching football to young children, so I’m confident keeping excitable kids engaged with fun, active games and activities! I'd say that I'm a calm and laid back person, but would also like to think that I'm friendly and approachable and would love to meet all sorts of new people during my time in New Zealand.

I had such a lovely experience with Linda and Andy over in Weetah, and couldn't recommend this workaway enough to anyone considering it. I felt immediately welcome at their place, and they are such a lovely couple who've built an amazing home. I particularly enjoyed our chats about shared interests of film, music and travel, and loved listening to … read more

Owain is a fabulous workawayer. So easy to spend time with, was happy to fit in with whatever was happening in the house, cooked meals, helped tick off jobs in the garden that needed doing and an all round lovely person. A week is such a small amount of time to get to know someone but Owain made that easy and I hope he felt appreciated to the … read more

I had such a wonderful time with Sharon, Vic and the family! I instantly felt right at home with such a friendly family.

I really enjoyed … read more

Thanks Niki for such a wonderful stay! I spent a week in Ōhope with Niki and her lovely son Noah, and it was such a pleasant experience to be a part of their family for a week. When we had sunny days I helped with painting the cabin which was very therapeutic, and then helping with some childcare during rainy days. Noah is such a great kid, he's … read more

I couldn’t have asked for a better first workaway experience than the time I spent in Kaeo with Tori, Julz and little Louie. I felt so welcome at their warm and beautiful home. I enjoyed learning tons about gardening from Tori during the day, and it was a pleasure to be out in the sun and getting stuck in! I also appreciated evening chats with … read more

Owain was a pleasure to have around. From the moment he arrived, his good nature and easygoing personality was clear. He was great with our baby and incredibly helpful around the house, even outside of his allocated work hours, pitching in with dinner preparations and cleaning up afterwards.
He was a fantastic worker, consistently going above and … read more
