  • Description

    Hello! I'm Ruth, I'm 27, originally from the UK and in Australia since December 2023. Currently looking for a workaway from the end of Jan/start of Feb for 2 or 3 weeks around Adelaide/SA.

    I have worked for the last two years as a junior carpenter, builder and workshop assistant, and am fully proficient in.. pretty much all the tools I think. I have also worked several seasons as a winery cellar hand, and am continuing this in Coonawarra from Feb-May 2024. The aim is to be a jack of all trades, but also master of a couple of them, given time of course.

    I've moved around quite a bit and tried my hand a a lot of different things, teaching English in rural Nepal for a year, studying for my biology degree, lots of horticultural work when on a working holiday visa in New Zealand for 2+ years, youth work, and the aforementioned carpentry, construction and winery work.

    I play cricket and badminton, do a lot of medium/long distance hiking and camping, and enjoy cooking, baking, Star Wars, cross stitching, a bit of guitar, chilling in libraries, getting to know people, sharing skills and learning new things from each other. I have recently bought a car for the first time in my life, which is exciting and opens up more opportunities.

    I would be very open to any workaways where I can build on my existing skills, in particular with different types of building and carpentry (tiny houses?), ramble about some nice bushland, live in a community and encounter new ideas that have never crossed my mind before.
