I'm on an 8 month trip combining work and travel. I'm currently in Australia but I'll soon be back in Asia where I hope to meet some like-minded people and join an interesting project or two

Hi,
I'm Mary, and I come from NW Scotland.
I'm a happy and outgoing individual who is very adaptable and difficult to faze!
I'm an artist (painter) and art teacher by trade, although I also have a TESOL certificate for English teaching, and a lot of experience in the hospitality industry; I have worked in several small, boutique-style hotels, 2 of which had a Michelin star. I ran my own successful Bed and Breakfast for 11 years as well as my own gallery which sold my landscape paintings.
I have also been a gardener and am currently writing a book, after completing my Masters in Creative Writing.
I am self-employed and run a Painting Holiday business, but at the moment I'm on an extended trip which I'm fitting around this. While I'm in Australia, especially, I'm looking for interesting placements where I can either earn a wage or earn my keep in exchange for a few hours work, leaving me some time to paint and write.
I especially love work which involves being outside in nature, helping with animals/pets, and gardening.
Also, of course, I can teach English or painting!
I am willing to consider any work and am more interested in the location... I love beautiful and interesting places away from big cities.

I would consider a VERY long-term position if there was payment or a chance to earn from another source whilst volunteering, in the right location! But equally happy with a variety of short-term experiences in interesting new places.

The house, with it's comfortable, all-weather lean-to 'porch', and the garden bursting at the seams with fruit and vegetables, became like home. The weather wasn't the best so… read more
