Description
I started backpacking around the world in 2013. I spent a lot of time in Latin America, 1 year in Australia and a year and a half in south east Asia. I have been sedentary since the end of 2019 and it is high time to get back on the road!

(I took a course to become a Home Organiser in 2021 - think Marie Kondo or The Home Edit on Netflix - and I would be happy to share my knowledge in decluttering and space optimisation if it is of interest)

My dream is to live close to nature, surrounded by animals, growing my own food. Growing up as a city girl, I still have a lot to learn to make that dream come true, and that is why I am doing this.

Below is some information about the workaways/ volunteering/ jobs I’ve held along the way:

Animal sanctuary in Bolivia (2014): preparing food for the animals (spider monkeys and coatis) and cleaning their environments.

Horse ranch in Argentina (2014) : a lot of cleaning involved, looking after animals, riding horses and welcoming tourists.

Hostel in Santiago de Chile (2014): reception

Hostel in Playa del Carmen, Mexico (2015): organising and executing activities to get the guests involved and create a fun environment.

Hostel in Perth and Motel in Alice Springs (2016): reception

Hostel in Cambodia (2017): reception/bar

I’ve also acquired some gardening experience working on a couple of vineyards in Argentina and Chile, did some painting and cleaning on a coffee farm in Colombia, some planting on a mango farm in Australia. I also worked in a book shop and in a bar in Cambodia.

Do not hesitate to go and help out Javier on his finca. I spent 2 and a half weeks with him, and only left because I had a plane to catch; I had a wonderful time there.
Javi is a lovely person, a great chef and very knowledgeable in many areas- I learnt a lot from him.
The work was flexible and not too demanding. I was left to work independently… read more

It was a great experience to host Roxy. She was my first volunteer, and i am very glad that she came to my place and gave her personal touch to the project.
Roxy is a senseful and honest person. She was carrying out her tasks with positive mood, care and an attentive attitude. So i totally trusted her and i had confidence in leaving Roxy working… read more

Angela and Stefan are a kind, open-hearted couple. You can talk to them about anything. They live on a beautiful piece of land in a valley and took me on some beautiful hikes with their lovely dog, teaching me about the plants growing wild along the way.
I spent 3 weeks with them, staying in the tent they provided. It has a sleeping area (with an… read more

Roxy was a revelation. She had a pride in her work that was very refreshing and many of her ideas we have now implemented in the routines and training of other volunteers. She had a great attitude towards the work and a care for the project and the place with an eye for detail that will elevate us further. She will be sorely missed.

Simply the dream job. Very cozy and comfortable hostel which attracts interesting people, and it is located in a beautiful area of Santiago so that you don't feel that you're in a big city yet you're close enough to all the conveniences. The 5h shift is very easy and laid back, hardly feels like work and John is a very cool guy to work for. Thank… read more

Thanks Roxy! You're welcome to come back and visit whenever you want. Good luck with the hostel and Santiago and will catch up with you there sometime!

To workaway hosts: Roxy was fantastic to have around- really hard working, great with the pets and happy to look after the place on her on when I had to go to Santiago for a few days. Totally… read more

I absolutely recommend going to volunteer at Matt's! He is young and easy to get along with and a generous host. He has a very nice house with all modern amenities and wonderful pets- the 4 dogs are very sweet and obedient and the 2 cats are simply the softest, most affectionate purring machines. The surrounding community is international and… read more

Adam is a laid-back host. The accommodation provided is great and the food is nice and healthy. His 3 dogs are very affectionate and playful and there is now the sweetest, most fearless little lamb to look after! He also has a huge movie collection.
The work involved is mostly outdoors, watering all the plants and digging trenches for the… read more

Roxy is a wonderful and intelligent person. A hard and honest worker with a drive to really learn the important things in life. I highly recommend her to other hosts. Good luck Roxy! It is a pleasure knowing you! Adam
