  • Description

    Hello!

    My name is Zoe, I am 28 years old and from Australia.
    I am a marine biologist and have been working for an environmental NGO for the past 6 years, primarily based in the Maldives, focussing on coral restoration and conservation projects. This year I decided that I wanted a bit of a break and to do some more travelling and possibly volunteering along the way.

    I am interested in learning many new things and also exchanging some of my own skills. I have experience in some hotel hospitality work such as kitchen work, reception, cleaning and laundry (although it's been a few years). I love anything to do with writing, proofreading and editing and as I just bought a new camera, I am starting to learn about photography I would be happy to practice if a project requires any photography or media. I've always wanted to learn some new skills, it could be anything, but especially in bartending and vegetarian cooking. As marine conservation is my passion, any work relating to this or even just being near the ocean and beach would always be welcome and exciting for me.

    I've previously completed a 3-week workaway in Guatemala with a family, involving cooking, childcare and computer and again in Canada on an organic family-run vegetable farm. Currently, I am looking at doing a work away for 2-3 weeks throughout July along the south coast of Turkey before I head off to the Philippines.

    Thanks for reading!
