About me

I'm a 24 year old female living in a small town in the South Island of New Zealand, called Edendale. I grew up in Christchurch and studied agriculture at Massey University in Palmerston North. I am the regional manger of a team of 16 on-farm field technicians for a biosecurity company. I'm currently single with no children (although I hope to have them one day!) I love living rural- I'm able to go hunting, hiking, camping and I I have a great bunch of friends. I'm very artistic, I learnt to play piano and drums at school and I love to draw and paint. I had an awesome job teaching kids music while I was studying at uni- I love kids! I haven't done much travelling, so I'm taking a year off work and going around the world. I want to get to know an area really well- meet the locals, learn all about their culture and go off the beaten track, rather than go to the usual tourist hot-spots.

Preferred location

I am very flexible with where I will travel to, I don't have a set plan. I'll be travelling from South Africa, so I'll start on the East side of Europe and end on the West side, then continue onto the USA.

Skills

I have a bachelors degree in agriculture and have worked on dairy farms all over the South Island of New Zealand. I can help with most farm work.
I have been a nanny to many children, so childcare is something I can help with too.
I can teach music- While I was studying at uni, I had a job teaching kids piano and drums. I played piano for 6 years drums for 4 years.
I can cook and clean and help with any other household jobs.

Additional info

I am not a smoker, I have a drivers license, I am not a vegetarian and I have no allergies.
