Descripción
I am an avid traveller from country Victoria who has struggled significantly with having to stay put for the past 18 months. I have had many workaway experiences over the past 5 years on farms, in hostels and even on a boat. I am happy to do farm/animal work, any kind of gardening & maintenance or cooking.
I have just finished my bachelor of science with a major in mathematics and I love to read and learn about science, I also tutor some high school kids in maths. I am taking 6 months off and plan to drive from Melbourne all the way up to Broome and back living out of my car. I would love to have another workaway experience in my home country and am eager to work hard!

I have had experience working in hostels, cleaning making beds and some reception work. Also building using natural materials such as cob and mud brick, I've also worked on goat farms where I fed and cared for the goats, and helped milking etc. I've worked with sheep, cattle, pigs, donkey, horses, birds, you name it. I am confident with animals and love spending time caring for them, giving them food, water and love. I have worked also on fruit farms such as pomegranates, I can prune trees pick fruits and help care for the land, I have also worked on an herb farm, I can sort herbs and hopefully identify which ones not to go near!
I briefly worked for a trail riding company near Melbourne before it shut down last year. I took out between 2-5 people with beginner to intermediate experience. I love working with horses and always want to improve my riding skills.

We had a lot of fun with Sienna and Angus. They worked diligently each morning to pick raspberries for us and were very easy to get along with. They were very happy to join in with games when our children asked. They both had a nice easy manner that meant the children related well to them both. We'd be happy to have them back again, and we wish… read more

We only stayed with Alison, Rob and the kids for a week but had a really lovely time. We picked raspberries in the morning which was very easy, gentle and enjoyable work, then had the afternoons free to do as we pleased.

Sienna is an energetic and hard working young woman who is an absolute pleasure to be around. She brings an energy and enthusiasm to every project she tackles, no matter how big or small.

When the kids went back to school I helped to prepare the horses' new paddock, clearing the bushes, fencing and… read more

In the five weeks that Sienna stayed with us, above all she surprised us with her balanced, cheerful and creative character. She picked up the daily routine in and around the stables very quickly, soon being completely autonomous in the feeding. It was obvious that she really enjoyed the goats and the kids (she simply Looooved them). Furthermore… read more
