Description
Hi!
I love working in the outdoors and working hard to live life in a sustainable and eco-conscious way. I really enjoy observing and learning about wildlife, plants, landscapes and ecosystems, as well as getting stuck in with outdoors projects, and love seeing the results of my hard work! I am looking forward to travelling via Workaway and getting involved in some fun projects, and meeting people from all walks of life and swapping stories. I believe an extended stay with local people is the best way to experience any place!

More details about your skills
I have a lot of previous gardening/landscaping experience. As a teenager and student I worked in my local neighbourhood on various gardening projects, from regular garden maintenance (pruning, mowing etc) to bigger landscaping projects (patio-laying, building of raised beds). I really enjoy working outdoors and working with plants. I also have experience volunteering for a number of public projects in this regard - from path-laying and planting for a new local park, to wood-chopping and brush clearance for a local nature reserve.
I am a decently skillled cook, and thorouhgly enjoy preparing group meals!
I have previous experience in pet care, having done a number of pet-sits whilst travelling.

I stayed in the treehouse which was a unique and fun… read more

Marlene & Peter are amazing hosts! I had a great stay with them and really enjoyed getting to know them and sharing good food and music. Working with the chickens was always fun and helping out around their beautiful farm was a joy. They always made sure I had everything I needed and I felt right at home.

Tom was a great help and very easygoing. He did an excellent job shingling our outhouse and doing general property maintenance, including clearing brush, digging a trench and mulching our garden beds. He worked independently but at the same time keeping in mind requests/instructions. He sometimes played the piano in the evenings which was lovely.… read more

Anna & Graham were great hosts, I couldn't have asked for a better first Workaway experience! They are kind and welcoming, and I loved staying in their beautiul home (with friendly cat Misty). The work around their property was varied and rewarding, and I was encouraged to do tasks wherever the sun was, which was definitely appreciated!
