Description
I love to travel, to see new things and have new experiences and adventures. I love learning new things and meeting new people. I adore animals, especially dogs, donkeys and goats! I am happiest when I'm doing some sort of physical training, whether that's weightlifting, Muay Thai or running - which is good, because more than anything, I really love food!

More details about your skills
I have achieved my Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) qualification and work as an online English Teacher.

I also love being around animals!

I have volunteered in animal sanctuaries and rescue centres across Asia, working with street dogs and cats. I am always looking to expand my knowledge and experience in animal welfare and rescue. While travelling, I achieved my OFQUAL Level 2 Diploma as a Veterinary Nurse Assistant.

In the UK, I volunteered with The Donkey Sanctuary for five years where I gained my Level 1 & 2 Donkey Health Care certification. I have recently volunteered at The Donkey Sanctuary in Italy. I also volunteered as a live-in sanctuary assistant in Scotland for two months, caring for over 160 different animals.

I have a strong background in administration, personal assistant, secretarial and receptionist roles....so I guess you could say I'm experienced in handling both humans and animals!

I planned to stay with Jill for 2 weeks, but extended it to 3 because we were having such a great time - and also we hadn't quite finished watching all 6 seasons of Downton Abbey yet! Jill's property is like living in a dream, it is beautiful. There are so many birds and the kangaroos come to visit every evening. I helped Jill to chop down a… read more

I stayed with Celeste and another workaway, Ellie, for almost 4 weeks. I had initially planned to stay for only 2 weeks, but extended - so this should be a good indicator for you! Celeste is super laid back and made me feel welcome from the start, as did her gorgeous dogs. I helped with organising some documents, feeding the horses, house-sitting… read more

I initially arranged to stay at The Roost for one month but in the end I extended it to two! The people and animals here are nothing short of amazing and I feel privileged to now be part of this extended family.

Jin was kind enough to offer me my very first teaching opportunity and I thoroughly enjoyed it! Jin organised the lesson plan and supervised the class with me. The children were lovely and Jin was very relaxed and encouraging so that I didn't feel nervous at all. Thank you so much. I hope to see you again soon :)

Vikki was so kind to come and help me for a day when another volunteer had cancelled his stay. She's really helpful and eager to learn new things. She's good with children and good at teaching them as well. Recommended.
