Description
I am an Aussie woman who has decided that life is too short and I'm heading overseas to travel and see what adventures lie ahead. I love the outdoors and find solace in the mountains but also love to meet people and hear about their stories. I have worked in the travel industry for most of my life (until Covid) and most recently my employment has been in the charity sector. I've always leant towards advocating for human rights and social justice.

I love mountain biking (single track, downhill) but lately I've decided to take less risks of injuring myself and have been doing more hiking.

Suzie and us get to get together very good. We spend a month with her. She work good and she was very nice, sweet and educated person. We work hard together, we laughed together and make jokes with her. Always ready to help when you needed. We recommend Susie highly.

Wow, what a place to be for a month! The guesthouse became increasingly busy during the time I was there so although the work was not complicated, it did get hectic at times. My main tasks were washing and drying dishes, clearing plates after breakfast and dinner, and some housekeeping.

Ana and Alvaro were so accommodating and always making sure… read more

I spent 5 weeks on Skopelos and we managed to clear quite a few trails in that time, despite the unpredictable weather. The work was very physical but satisfying, and the scratches from prickly plants became a badge of honour! We quite often would go for a beer or tsipouro (a very Greek experience with a drink and meze for 5 euro) after work… read more

Suzie and I got along fine for the month of her stay, bearing in mind we were in each others company a lot of the time. I'm saying she's easy to get along with. She's flexible and a good worker. No drama; just gets on with it. We accomplished a lot together and the overall experience was excellent.
