Descripción

Hello!
I'm Jess and I'm from Scotland. I have been working in New Zealand for the past year and now hoping to travel for the summer and explore as much of this beautiful country as I can.
I have done several workaways before and have found the setup really suits me as I love to meet new people and explore places that I may not have otherwise visited. I would love to find workaways where I can spend some time outside but I'm up for any type of work, especially gardening and anything practical/DIY-based.
I'm a very easy-going and friendly person and have lots of enthusiasm to get stuck into projects. I can be independent and happy to entertain myself by going for hikes and exploring new areas but I also love chatting to new people and exchanging stories. I love all things outdoorsy - running, climbing, hiking. I'm also passionate about conservation and have a degree in ecology so would be interested in restoration/ecological projects. I also love cooking and sharing food with people, and I'm always up for learning new recipes from other countries.

Que habilidades tienes?

I have some gardening experience - weeding, raking, strimming, planting, making raised beds.
I also have worked in a guest house for 3 years so have experience cleaning, cooking, and speaking to guests.
I did 3 Workaways last summer (2023, with my friend through her profile) and 2 this summer (2024) which included:
- gardening (weeding, strimming, planting)
- child care
- cooking meals
- insulating a roof with natural materials
- using power tools
- heavy lifting/household jobs
- DIY projects
I'm enthusiastic and happy to help with any type of work needed! I'm up for getting my hands dirty and always keen to learn new skills.

Mish and Nige are the most welcoming and kind hosts. Their enthusiasm and dedication to protect and restore the land is very inspiring, and it's incredible to see the difference their efforts have made in just a few years. The area is such a beautiful nature haven and feels so alive. You're surrounded by bird song, native plant species, and … read more

I had a lovely stay with Adrien and Elodie (and their very cute kids). They welcomed me (last minute) into their home and included me in family activities and outings. The work was varied and interesting - mostly pool cleaning, gardening, and DIY tasks around the house. They went out of their way to show me local places/attractions (even climbing … read more

I couldn't have asked for more from my 2 weeks staying with Stefano and Nelly. They were perfect hosts. They made sure I had everything I needed, provided great recommendations of places to swim and hike in the local area, and cooked delicious food! During my stay I helped mainly with weeding, composting, and collecting rocks to rebuild the … read more

Having Jess with us has been a great pleasure.
She is a very active person with a lot to share.
In addition to helping us with all the housework and the garden, she shared her wonderful projects with us and explored the areas around Apricale with great curiosity, beating all our times on the local trails.
We wish her all the best for her future … read more
