  • Description

    Hola! I'm Zoe :)

    Currently in Mexico for the foreseeable future!

    I love travelling, meeting new people, and experiencing new places and cultures, (and patting all the sweet dogs I meet along the way!) and have found that volunteering while I travel is the best way to get the most out of the experience.

    I can bring a good attitude and work ethic to your Workaway project, as well as a willingness to learn any new skills!

    Coming from New Zealand I'm happiest outdoors, in the forest or near a beach but am equally comfortable in cities and smaller rural towns, as long as there's somewhere outdoorsy or in nature to enjoy nearby.

    In 2022 I spent five months volunteering at an ecotourism park, working with guests and clients, helping with the farm and animals, building bits and pieces, helping with admin and marketing, painting and so much more. I have also spent more than four months working with various different dog rescue organisations, in both a fundraising and communications and hands-on animal care capacity. I even rescued and fostered my own Mexican street pup for five months before flying him north to a new life in the United States.

    So safe to say I love animals and would be super interested to find more opportunities to volunteer with rescues.

    When I'm at home, I usually keep a vegetable garden and a lot of house plants so also am drawn to any gardening/horticulture/farm work.

    I'm into fitness and try to keep active on my travels. I recently completed my yoga instructor certification and would love the chance to share this with others.

    I’m a native English speaker and am always happy to help others learn or improve their English. My father is from Argentina so I learned some Spanish at home growing up, although I'm not fluent so would love to improve my Spanish speaking also!

    I’ve built my professional career working with non-profits in Fundraising, Communications & Event Management and would love the opportunity to use any of these existing skills on a Workaway.

    I hope to meet you soon!

  • More details about your skills

    I have worked in the non-profit space for the past 11 years, in fundraising, communications, project and event management.

    I'm a people person and work well with others and am comfortable dealing with all kinds of people and making sure everyone is happy in any team I'm working in.

    I love cooking and baking and sharing food as a way to bring people together.

    I have a yoga teaching certification but have not yet had the opportunity to teach so would love any opportunity to share my love of yoga.

    I love being outside and don't mind any physical labour like painting, gardening or other maintenance work. I also love animals and spent time on family farms as a young child, and would be happy with any opportunity to be around animals of any kind.
