Descrição
Hello! We're Tiffany (Yuen Tung) and Jaye (Wai Lam). We are 2 classmates-turned-besties in our 20s from Hong Kong who have recently graduated from university and are looking to have a meaningful experience abroad. We love being around animals, trying new things and meeting new people :)) We both have some experience in animal care (mostly dogs and cats, even hamsters - but we're open to learning about the care of other animals as well) and aren't afraid to get our hands dirty so that the animals can be happy and healthy! You can read the skills section below for more details about our prior experience.

Quais são suas habilidades?
We both regularly volunteer at local dog and cat shelters where we feed and care for the animals, maintain the cleanliness of the kennels, and help talk to potential adopters etc. We've also fostered dogs to help with training and socialisation. We're ready to roll up our sleeves and help out while meeting new friends & experiencing new cultures :D

Jaye is versatile and adaptive to new environments. She's had hamsters and has previously travelled to Uganda and Togo, Africa as a volunteer for providing healthcare. Tiffany is keen and adventurous. She is a dog owner and has some brief experience as a veterinary assistant in an animal clinic (in the general dog and cat wards).

We are both fluent in English & Chinese, and Tiffany can also speak some French :)

**Jaye recently obtained her car license but will need some warming up before she's confident in driving internationally.

Deixado pelo Workawayer () para o anfitrião (Vegan sanctuary welcomes ...)

We stayed at Annette’s farm for 1.5 weeks in July. It was a memorable experience, though it would be a lie to say that everything had gone swimmingly throughout.

In the first week, there was unfortunately quite a lot of miscommunication. We found Annette’s instructions a bit vague at times and think she would prefer someone with more farm… read more experience to avoid frustration. Besides Annette’s specific demands about work on the farm (which are understandable), she also made little comments about how we lived in the house, even down to trivial things that perhaps she just wasn’t used to. This made things quite frustrating in the beginning.

However after about 5 days, things became smoother as we slowly got the hang of the routine and what Annette expected. We were given more freedom to work independently as well.

We also came at a time when Annette was busy juggling between her many duties, so she didn’t have the luxury of time to maintain the house or clean up right away. But the situation improved after we were there to share the workload. It is also important to note that there are quite a lot of flies and wasps, and you will get your hands dirty with the daily work, so wear something you don’t care for and make sure you have the right attire and ointment etc against wasp stings.

The work itself is not hard, though even with 2 people we usually exceeded the specified 5 hours of work per day. But you still get plenty of time (including 2 days off per week and a big break after the morning) with easy access to public transport to explore places nearby, which was great. Annette’s food is also super fresh and delicious, and we had some insightful conversations at the dinner table (with Melissa too).

We are most thankful about being able to get a taste of farm life and learning how to take care of animals which we would not normally have the chance to encounter in Hong Kong. We’ve learnt that these animals have much more personality than we thought, especially the sheep, many of whom are so affectionate & cuddly in their own way. Being able to bond with Daisy, Anika, Penelope, Zumba, Charlie & the others made the trip just oh so special. Same goes for Lulu & the chickens, Herbert & his ladies, Tom & Jerry, and of course Vanna & Ruby!

Overall, not a bad experience but go with the right expectations. :)

(Bom)
