Description
Travel update: heading to Melbourne from Auckland 11th November. Open to a WorkAway from mid to end of November in Melbourne. Then to Sydney in the new year :)

We’re a British/Czech couple on an extended adventure to the other side of the world. We're now at the end of a 15 months kiwi adventure, travelling and working in New Zealand, and now have our sights set on Australia! We've done 10 wwoofing/WorkAway's between us so far and love it! We’re ideally looking to help out somewhere for at least couple of weeks if things work out, but open to shorter stays too :) We’re looking to bring our skills to help out on garden, farming, environmental and building/maintenance projects. We are lovers of nature, animals, meeting new people and always open to new adventures!

Note: this used to be Sophie's solo profile before me and Adam met, hence all the reviews are currently about me (Sophie) only. Joint wwoofing reviews for Sophie and Adam as a team are available on request!

More details about your skills
Sophie works in landscape design and gardening and has a keen interest in permaculture (sustainable design). Before travelling she had an awesome job in London planting trees with school kids and volunteers. She now teaches garden design and horticulture online. She loves practical work too and recently spent four months working as a landscape gardener where she got pretty skilled at trimming hedges!

Adam has worked in construction his whole career, starting with scaffolding before getting into construction management. He has plenty of knowledge and practical skills to help with building work and property maintenance. He loves working outside, being in touch with animals and has a growing interest in horticulture - he's now a skilled and serious pruner of grape vines. He can drive and use a wide range of vehicles and tools (even a crane!).

We both have a strong work ethic, enjoy being helpful and are conscientious and thorough with everything we do. We think we’re pretty good cooks, and love a good conversation round the dinner table too :)
Age
34 & 34
What else ...
We love all creative and outdoor pursuits. Sophie plays guitar and piano, sings and writes comedy songs, paints and draws. Adam’s secret skills are juggling and creative writing. We recently got the hang of canoeing and had a great time surviving the rapids on the Whanganui river! We love hiking and meeting animals too.

Sofie (from UK) and Adam were able to join us for the first 2 weeks of November 2025.
They did an amazing job of clearing gorse, wool nightshade etc, from the edges of the stream, that runs through our property. Shame about Adam's unplanned dip in the water 🤦🏼‍♀️lol.
Their work is of the highest standard (definetly attention to detail).

We had such a great time at Cathrine and Martin’s! Ten days flew away like nothing and we wished we could have stayed longer. Their property is not just a beautiful 50 acres farm land but also a forest and small creek surounded by native bush. Such a nice place to stay. We got to work with sheep and cattle, grooming ones and giving medicine to… read more

Jo and Aaron’s Farm is an absolute oasis of green and beauty within the bare grassy hills landscape of Hawke’s Bay. Jo and Aaron were so warm and welcoming to us and made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay.
We would highly recommend this WorkAway experience to people who are interested in permaculture, sustainable living, self… read more

I really enjoyed my stay with Avi and Margaret. I spent most of the time with Avi who is a great conversationalist; we had many interesting discussions over delicious morning coffee and breakfast on a whole array of topics. One thing that will surprise you on this WorkAway is how much fun you will have making compost! Avi has a mad scientist type… read more

Mish and Nige are truly inspirational human beings. From the outset they made us, as the volunteer group for the week, feel incredibly welcome and at ease. I have never seen anyone work so hard at hosting, with so much joy and intension, as Mish. Our shared accommodation in the cabins was comfortable and cosy, and the food was absolutely… read more

Jonathan is an extremely generous host and has a beautiful, spacious, peaceful home. I feel extremely lucky that I found him as my last stay before flying home from Auckland! I and another Workawayer helped out by clearing fallen branches out of the bush, cleaning and stacking wood. He was really flexible about our hours as we were both trying to… read more

It was a pleasure to host Sophie. She is positive, hardworking, and very talented on the guitar and piano. I am very grateful for the work she did clearing our bush block—it looks amazing now thanks to her efforts. Sophie’s dedication and enthusiasm were truly appreciated. I highly recommend her and wish her all the best in her future travels.

Sophie, I must apologise - I thought I'd already posted this feedback .
Sophie was a wonderful house guest and Workawayer at my place. Her gardening skills are fantastic and I was able to learn from her. Sophie is a person who just gets on with things quite independently and relaiably. Makes the worlds best pancakes & lots of fun too.

Heather is an absolute one in a million human being! It was an absolute pleasure to stay with her and help out with the garden. I stayed for just over a week, did loads of chopping back weeds, some planting and cooked on one of the nights. Heather is very reasonable and flexible about the helping hours and will genuinely care for your wellbeing.… read more

It was an absolute pleasure to have Sophie stay with us! She has amazing gardening/tree planting skills as well as being a really great human being!!

I had the best time at Monica and Kyle's! They're a really fun, generous couple and their dog Hudson is just gorgeous. I stayed for a bit over a week and helped with painting, lots of weeding, mulching, transplanting bananas and some tree planting.
