  • Description

    Hey :)
    Shay is from New Zealand, and grew up in a small rural/hippy town at the top of the south island. She has always loved the outdoors, and have dedicated most of her life to spending time in nature doing activities she loves, such as surfing, kayaking, running and rock climbing. After high school Shay got a degree in Sustainability and Outdoor education, giving her the skills and expertise to help others connect to the outdoor spaces she loves. She particularly enjoys taking kids surfing and kayaking. She spent this past year sea kayak guiding in Ireland, working as a stable hand (as a workawayer), surf instructing in the Dominican Republic, travelling Chile, and is now back kayak guiding in Ireland. Shay also loves animals having grown up on a small farm, being crafty, being active and eating good food!
    Dakota is from the South-East of Ireland and has always been connected to the sea, spending most of his free time in the water; whether surfing, bodying himself in shore-break, swimming or freediving. He loves to cook and takes great pleasure in making food for others. He has a bunch of experience working in hospitality (mostly in customer service but some kitchen stuff too) and has worked the last few summers as a surf instructor back in Ireland. He really misses his guitar but is now putting energy into yoga and improving his Spanish.

  • More details about your skills

    I'm experienced with farm work; doing odd random day to day tasks such as feeding out, mucking out stalls, moving electric fences, and catching escapee animals. I have lots of experience riding and working with horses too.
    I have a full drivers license, and can drive quad bikes and reverse trailers if required!
    And I might be able to share a few of my outdoors skills with you.
