Description
My husband Mike and I live by our values, which include making a difference and having fun. Workaway seems like a great way to travel and have fun without just being a tourist - it gives us an opportunity to contribute to the communities we are visiting.

Quelles sont vos compétences ?
Having worked in conservation management (many years ago!) and owned a woodland (recently), I have a range of practical conservation/outdoor skills that hosts might find useful including growing and construction. I love making things, including carving spoons, knitting and sewing. I am an author, so writing should definitely also be included in my skillset! I am fit and healthy, in my happy place walking long distances or working in the woods.

Laissé par l'hôte (Help out with my small farm ...) pour le workawayer (Julia & Michael)
Hosting Julia and Micheal was an absolute pleasure. they were very helpful and I will be forever grateful that they provided the impetus (and did most of the work) to finally finish off my kitchen. highly recommend this couple, great communication and life skills generally. I wish that they had been able to stay for longer....

Jennie and Norman have a superb small farm. Fantastic dogs. Enjoyed our chance to do a little bit of riding with the horses. We enjoyed the general farm tasks and then managed some work in the kitchen. The sleep out was a bit drab. But has access to indoor bathroom and we were able to use the kitchen dining table. Jennie even let me deliver a… read more

Sarndra has a dream to build a small home on her land and live there after selling the current home. There is much to do, loads of incomplete projects all on the go. Sarndra is a great host, knows the area very well and always willing to help you get places if possible. View to the beach superb.

(Off-grid paradise being ...)
Ollie, Nat, Alex and Anna gave us an open and generous welcome to their home, dreams and aspirations. We felt enriched by spending time with them and in helping them progress with developing their land for biodiversity and human potential. And also the whole family made sure we felt as if we were receiving all the time, we had some excellent fun,… read more

Unsurpassed coddiwomple excellence all around! Mike and Julia are definitely not you average Workawayers. Unfortunately they only stayed a few days and when they left we felt as though we could have shared conversation/ knowledge for so much longer than we did. They helped by removing invasive weeds (pampas grass), chainsawing wood, tree release,… read more

Annie and Ian are exemplary hosts, great people and provided a superb experience as well as useful work that helped them continue contributing to environmental and community issues.

(Help at our Manakau Hideaway ...)
Roger and Brenda are very friendly in use of their orchard house, car and time. Roger is excellent in communicating for your trip. Roger plans to spend more time on the orchard, as things are getting a bit on top of them both and in fact the house and orchard shows this - lots of jobs to do. So if you feel that you can help, there is a lot to do.… read more

Mike & Julia are not your average Workawayers. They are so skilled in many and varied activities, and are versatile in many aspects of life. Mike is skilled at tree cutting and proved this in lots of places on the orchard. Bothe he and Julia proved their worth in picking plums, and it's no small matter that the two weeks they were with us with the… read more

We stayed with Doris and Ata for just over a week, camping in one of their tents.
Doris and Ata are generous and considerate hosts in all areas except for cleanliness. When we were there, the washing up was being done in cold water, which was not effective at removing grease. The floor of the common area was not yet sealed, and so the whole area… read more
