United Kingdom - du Mai 2025 au Jul 2025 Voir tout
Description
Kia ora koutou! I'll first introduce where I'm from - Aotearoa New Zealand - because this tells a lot about me (laidback, nature lover, tramper and coaster at heart). I am Lottie, early 20s, an Antarctic researcher with a love for volunteering and making a difference. First tried Workaway in Europe after a student exchange in the Netherlands, loved it, and am back again for more :)

Looking for a few places to spend summer 2025 - open to England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, or European countries close to the UK. Get in touch! I am currently in the south of the UK and looking for places from 9 July 2025 onwards.
---
Hobbies include hiking with friends, hitting the beach, visiting nature reserves, half-marathons, and lots of other outdoor pursuits. I am looking to explore more places and lifestyles while volunteering (which also takes up some of my free time back home). I am definitely aiming to depart from the typical touristy experiences and try to create some more good in the world (personal development is a plus, too!). During my last travels in Europe I mainly enjoyed alpine and lakeside experiences - I’m keen to see so much more of this, as I'm sure I'll miss the beaches, mountains and native bush that have surrounded me in Aotearoa.
---
I am vegetarian. I hope to learn a lot of new things, including more vegan recipes :) Projects with a focus on positive climate impacts, citizen science/research/NGOs, wellbeing, working in or with nature, and generally improving the lives of others are my cup of tea. While I love nature, I also love exploring cities and can happily walk 30,000 steps in a day exploring the cultural/museum/art scene with my camera in hand.

To other Workawayers; please get in touch if you're looking for a travel buddy and see that we've got any future destinations in common - or if you'd rather suggest somewhere else, I'm keen for that too! If you just want to chat or have any book, music, hiking recommendations etc, my inbox is always open :)

The working hours are quite strictly 9am-2pm and I felt so lucky to go on a kayak and run along the river, hang out with the animals and go on peaceful bike rides around the region in my spare time. I tried to give my best in… read more
