Description
Kia Ora!
My name is Phie Fulford, I'm currently 24 years old and travelling around New Zealand in my little Suzuki Swift :). I'm on Workaway to learn and get more hands on experience around horticulture, gardening and conservation as that's where my passion and interests lies. So if that means weeding in a garden, walking trap lines in the bush or even shifting fence post it's all valuable experience for me. In my spare time I enjoy hiking, swimming (both lane swimming and outdoors when it's warm enough) and I'd love to do more cycling, kayaking and climbing :). I try to practice yoga regularly (follow along on a few youtube videos) and meditate/try to be more mindful and intentional in my day to day. Nga mihi nui

What a week! Thank you Mish and Nige for hosting me in November this will definitely be one of my South Island highlights. I worked on removing gorse from the main quad track, potting up plants in Mish's (gorgeous) native nursery and painting a cabin. In the morning and after our mahi Mish would also lead a quick meditation which I really… read more

We were impressed with Phie's curiosity to learn, her diligence with task completion, and her thoughtfulness/proactiveness for always looking around to see what to do next or what equipment to put away. Phie is kind and generous with others, and openly appreciative of daily meals and nature meditations received. Phie works well in a team and… read more

Phie came to us from the wet West Coast, but the storm force NW winds the day after her arrival took the power out but brought none of the much-needed rain.... instead we enjoyed practicing using the fire pump and hose to water the vegetable garden! Phie stayed in our cottage with another Workawayer and generously invited him to join her on… read more

Wow. Thank you Nicki and Richard I'm already missing the Blythe valley.

Did some spring cleaning in the house as the weather was unfortunately disgusting but Hamish took me out a few times to the farm, got to feed baby lambs and help with some of the feedings which was super cool. Larissa is a mean chef too - (I miss the Shepard's pie… read more
