Our next destination:
Australia - from Jan 2025 until Dec 2025 View all
Description
We are Nick and Mallory, both 26 years old and living together in Brighton, England. Between September 2023 - July 2024 we undertook an unforgettable 10 month trip exploring Australia, New Zealand, South East Asia and Canada. We are now preparing for our next adventure in January 2025, a year-long working holiday in Australia.
We took part in 5 Workaway exchanges during our previous trip, and really enjoyed all of them. We are excited by the opportunity to stay with local people and help out however we can with day to day tasks. We are both respectful, positive and friendly people, open to learning new skills and approach tasks with enthusiasm and determination.
It was amazing to get to know the reality of living in the places we visited and immerse ourselves in local culture. We love being outside and enjoy activities such as hiking, kayaking and swimming. In the evening, we prefer quiet nights in playing games, watching films, reading and cooking meals.

Nick and Mallory stayed with us for about two weeks, and they were an pleasure to have around. Polite, friendly, and easy-going, they fit in effortlessly and were always willing to help out. Although they didn't have construction experience (which is common and wasn't a concern) they took on the work with a great attitude and independently.

We really enjoyed having Mallory & Nick stay with us for a week. They are a lovely couple who are incredibly polite, great communicators & show a genuine interest in others. They were constantly asking how they could help out, were happy to work unsupervised but also ask for directions when required. Some of the tasks they completed included,… read more

We had an amazing two weeks teaching English at the school. Although we came into this with no teaching experience, the teachers and children were great which made our job easy and enjoyable! We helped out with the morning and afternoon classes, often assisting with an evening class as well but these were optional.

They cleared lots of heavy duty blackberry and convolvulus - did a lot of perfect weeding, and heavy haulage. Nick did some serious pruning of the high hedge around my deck with another Workawayer, Mallory cleared… read more

Nicholas and Mallory are a delightful young couple who came to me just before Christmas. They learnt new skills, using equipment and helping celebrate Christmas with my family. They picked fruit, trimmed hedges and raked up the cuttings. They enjoyed walking in our small town, the beach, the bush and the country atmosphere. They are tidy people… read more

The work consisted of around 4 hours gardening with Is each day, followed by cooking lunch/cleaning up. We enjoyed working in the garden and learned a lot from Is who explained everything thoroughly… read more
