New Zealand - du Fév 2024 au Fév 2025 Voir toutDescription
Hi all! I'm headed over to NZ in Feburary, planning to spend Feb - April exploring through workaways/WWOOF, before a year or so working in Wellington.
I'm a civil servant working on biodiversity policy. After a long time sitting behind a desk, I've decided I need to get out into 'real' nature! Particularly interested in nature restoration and farming projects.
I'm a keen worker: I'm really open to any type of work, and have experience in cooking, cleaning, (basic) gardening and admin. I previously worked in marketing, so happy to help out with Web design, copywritering, etc, if relevant.
I love meeting new people: I'm very curious and open to discovering new cultures (and enjoy a good language exchange). I was born in the UK, both my parents are Polish. I've spent time working and volunteering in Spain + Nicaragua. My family come from a farming background in Poland: I thoroughly enjoyed spending time and helping out on the farm during summers growing up.
In my spare time, I enjoy going for long runs or walks in nature, yoga, dancing, cooking and catching the sunset.Langues parlées
