Hi, I'm Alice, 27, and I'm from the UK. I've come to the realisation that life is too short not to do the things you love, and what I love is to travel. I did a few Workaways when I was younger, and really enjoyed them, so looking for some more opportunities now that I've decided to take some time away from work in order to see some of the world.
I love all animals (especially horses) and consider myself a competent horse rider. After two years working on a yard in all-weathers, and an upcoming summer working at a trekking centre, I definitely consider myself very hardworking, hardy, and up for any challenge. I'm chatty, friendly, and always willing to get stuck into any task.
I also have experience working in the travel industry as a social media and marketing manager for a gap year volunteering and adventure company. I'm happy to use these skills on my travels, as well as my skills in operations and critical thinking. Really I'm happy to have a go at anything! I'm always ready to roll my sleeves up and get stuck in.
I've had some amazing experiences through Workaway and hope to take this next year or so to see new parts of the world, experience some new things, and meet lots of new people!Centres d’intérêt

I consider myself competent and confident handling horses, having worked on a busy yard of over 50 horses for over two years. I've taken my BHS Stage 1 exam, and was set to take my Stage 2 flat and care, but due to Covid was unable to. I am very confident with managing horses, and maintaining high levels of horse welfare, everything from 2* event horses to lead-rein Shetland ponies!
I've got a job lined up this summer as a trekking guide at a trekking centre in Wales, so will soon also have experience leading out groups of riders, and looking after customers, as well of course as a refresh of all of those horsey skills that might be a little rusty after two years working in an office.
I've spent the last two years of my working life in marketing and social media management for gap year travel company, so could happily help with writing copy for blog posts/websites/Instagram. If you would like to establish a presence on social media, that's something I could give you a hand with. It's also given me a greater understanding of challenges facing community-led/volunteer projects.
I'm certainly a people person, and would be confident with a customer-facing role, but I mostly just love meeting new people!
I'm willing to give anything a go, even if it's not something I've previously done. I love to learn new skills and hope to learn lots as I travel. I'm incredibly hardworking and have turned my hand to lots of different skills in the past!Âge

I was quickly introduced to the other workaways in the area, and… read more
They very kindly came and picked me up from the airport which I really appreciated. As Sofia says, their house resembles a hostel, so myself and Yvet, the other workawayer, were in a separate building… read more
