Description
Hi there and thanks for visiting my profile!
I'm looking for a range of volunteer experiences whilst I travel. I have visited all the continents of the world but there is still so much to see and learn. I have degrees in Business and Marine Biology and a real passion for Penguins, wildlife and our environment. I have worked in Outdoor Education for the past 10 years so am good with all ages of learner and am TEFL (teaching English) qualified. I have conducted a variety of local citizen science, beach clean and art projects that might be of interest to you.

I love being outdoors, so most of my workaways have involved gardening, and I have earnt a reputation as a garden goddess!

I wish for a kinder more caring world so I am vegan, practice yoga and meditation and would love to be involved with projects that have a similar ethos.

Over the years I have volunteered, worked and interned at all sorts of places, many remote and with few services so I have learnt to be flexible and turn my hand to most tasks. I am a great organiser; hard working; punctual and highly reliable. If this is what you are looking for then please get in touch.

Wow! What a privilege to spend time at this place with Tim, Sofie, Melissa, Bianca and of course Socks. The heritage house and gardens are immense and beautiful, requiring lots of work. I love being outdoors so worked mostly in the gardens and had a blast powerhosing the paths. This is a very social place with lots of workawayers and close to… read more

Thank you Jennie, I had an amazing time staying at your beautiful home. I loved working in the garden, walking Rosie, helping with the holiday club at Opanake and of course sitting by the fire. It was an absolute pleasure. I appreciated how you welcomed me, made delicious vegan food and had great chats. Highly recommend x

I spent a week with Judy and Dennis in their lovely home. My tasks included power cleaning the fence, weeding, preparing the soil & fertiliser for the rose garden and using the wood chipper. I had my own room looking out onto the gardens and bush which was lovely. I really enjoyed my time here and appreciated the kindness and hospitality of my… read more

Thank you Carol and Richard. These kind and generous people welcome you into their home and ensure you have a great stay. The house, rooms, garden and pool are beautiful.

Jo is a garden goddess. She is very practical and skilled and what she doesn’t know she is eager to learn.
Jo is also a goddess in the house. Tidying, prepping cooking cleaning up and bringing in washing.
We and the other Workaways here had a fabulous time with Jo staying. She is a lot of fun to have around. It is definitely much quieter since… read more
