Descripción
Hi I'm Diana, a mid- life traveller. In my twenties I travelled extensively and worked for charities in India, Germany and Australia. Three children and a good number of years later ( after a good few holidays but not much serious travelling) I'm able to do it again.
I'm travelling to Australia, where I grew up in the suburbs of Melbourne, for nearly 5 months end of 24-25 with the intention of using a pet-sitting site and Workaways to move around and meet people. I don't travel at the luxury end of the market so I'm happy to pay my way through helping out.
I'm physically fit ( I did a sponsored walk in the Sahara a few years ago) and prefer to be on my feet and outdoors. Desk work is a no- no for me!
I'm a keen and reasonably knowledgeable gardener and I'd had experience with dogs, cats and chickens. I'm a good vegetarian cook. I'm a hard worker, reliable, trustworthy and have a clean driving licence.

Diana is such a pleasure to host. She was such a help in the garden and very pleasant and easy to get along with. Always happy to chip in with anything that needed doing. I absolutely recommend her to any hosts and wish her well on her adventures around Australia (and the world)

I had a great week with Ash who is a really pleasant and generous host. I mainly gardened which I'm happy doing and experienced in and in return was provided with a delightful little self contained cottage and lovely meals by Ash who.was so accommodating of my vegetarian diet. I highly recommend the experience

I love having Diana here so much. She is independent and has so much intuitive, she can see what needs doing and just gets on with it, without being asked. She is happy to take on any task big or small. Wonderful cook too! Works excellently with animals of all sizes, including dogs, chickens, alpacas, camels, cows, sheep, donkeys and horses.

This was only my second Workway and what a wonderful, life affirming experience it was. Helping to care for dozens of animals, some rescued from pretty dreadful circumstances felt a very positive thing to do and this is felt by all these creatures give back to those working with them.
Lynne is an amazing, dedicated person and its such a pleasure… read more

Diana was a pleasure to host - it was just a pity it was so short. She was both effiicient and effective - tackling garden jobs with gusto and making a real difference every day she was here.

It was refreshing to have someone experienced in gardening who could work autonomously and see what needed to be done. The week Diana was here verged on… read more

I've just spent a,week at Anne's and Robert's farm in New Norfolk. Overall it was a very positive experience; they are extremely hospitable and appreciative and the other girls who were there( Belgian, German and Japanese) were delightful and really added to the whole experience.
