Description
Hi all, I have recently arrived in Edinburgh on a two year working holiday visa.
I am hoping to escape the city to meet new people, learn new skills and experience new places.
I have lived and worked on farms for the majority of my life so am comfortable around animals and living remotely.
I have previously done a working holiday visa in Canada where I worked three winters on a skihill (hospitality).
My last job was two years at a luxury lodge in New Zealand where I was maintenance manager and tour guide.
Whilst in Canada my ex partner and I did three workaways which we thoroughly enjoyed and had great feedback from our hosts.

If you able to host this super duo, leap on it! The six weeks that Coby and Jason stayed with us was positive in every way. They are; resourceful and self motivated (given an idea of tasks they would run with it and complete them often more effectively than expected), interested in learning and trying new things, fantastic working with the dogs… read more

Huge thanks to Clay and Shelley for adopting us into their family. We ended up staying for 6 weeks and it was truly hard to leave. Clay is an excellent woodworker and handyman. Shelley is an awesome cook and both are the nicest people you could hope to meet. We were doing many different jobs on their property and Clay was very eager to teach us… read more

We both learnt many new skills and ideas and now hope to incorporate them into our own places once we return home. We enjoyed Leos knowledge on animals and he has loads of interesting stories from his past life. Santi taught us a lot… read more

Jason an Coby did an amazing job during their stay at the Ranch.
They are very capable, independent and skilled people. They did all sorts of jobs for us, from morning farm chores to carpentry, irrigation fencing, working up the roof and much more.
But the most remarcable trait they have is without a doubt their attitude and work ethics, they… read more

Thanks Tricia and Leo for your hospitality (the homegrown food was great). We thoroughly enjoyed learning new gardening skills and how to care for 600 chickens!
Generally we were given a handful of tasks each morning and left to our own devices with how to get them done which was great as it got us to think and problem solve.
If we ever make it… read more

Great conversations listening to their travel experiences, and comparisons in life styles between our countries. A wonderful easy going, upbeat couple with many skills. A couple who work well together or on their own or with others. Team players, and great at sport and games. We enjoyed Coby’s culinary skills, and Jason’s cook assistant, cleanup… read more
