Description
I have a deep passion for the natural world and a genuine concern for animal welfare. I take environmental conservation very seriously and believe this can be partially achieved through sustainable farming by protecting the ecosystem, as well as enhancing quality of life for communities through balance and moderation. My passion stems from going on family holidays to a working farm in Devon every year since the age of one. From this very early age my love for animals and the farming life was acknowledged and I now thrive on any opportunity to get involved.
I’m a well-travelled, active person who enjoys climbing, long walks and anything outdoors, always preferably with animals!Centres d’intérêt

I have spent most of the past two years working on farms, most of my time spent on the farm in North Devon mentioned previously in my description. I started there for lambing and stayed on for 5 months during lockdown, experiencing a change of seasons on the farm. After these 5 months I continued working at various mixed livestock farms, including dairy. I've worked with sheep, organic chickens, cattle, horses (basic care), pigs, geese, ducks, free flying conures and lots of wonderful dogs (including house and puppy sitting). During the past few years I have got stuck in with all aspects of farming life, I'm always willing to give a new experience a go! My most recent Workaway experience was helping out on a fruit farm in Spain - picking and packing organic fruits (avocados, oranges, grapefruit and lemons) as well as pruning the trees.
I was supposed to leave for Australia on a working visa in April 2020 but due to COVID-19 my plans have been put on hold. In the meantime I'm looking to build experience by gaining understanding of different farming techniques and lifestyles, which will all be highly beneficial further down the line. I feel like I have already learnt so much and I'm told that I'm a keen worker who is happy to work alone and get stuck in. I enjoy hands on, physical labour and a good challenge while understanding that there are some jobs that 'just have to be done', no matter how mundane or slow. I'm quick to pick up new skills and have good initiative. I will always ask questions in order to gain full understanding and extend my knowledge and skills.Âge

Autres infos...
I enjoy walking (preferably with a dog!) and exploring outdoors. I'm used to spending time on my own and do think it is important to embrace solitude. Of course, I do enjoy a good laugh, games and pointless facts!
I am triple vaccinated but believe in the individual's right to choose, a decision only you can make yourself, for yourself.Informations complémentaires

Most of all - she is well and truly amazing with animals. She looked after our dog and taught her so much. She seems to have an instinct and a knack for anything on four legs. Fantastic person to have helping out.
