Hi! I’m Ellie, 26, from England and have been on the road since graduating uni in 2019 (essentially just avoiding serious adult life!). My first stop was Germany, to further improve my language skills, but since then I’ve hopped about all over Europe and beyond, volunteering in many different places – primarily animal shelters and sanctuaries.
I’m currently in Australia, travelling around in a little campervan with my boyfriend, Cam (see connected workaway profile), and our dog, Chedz. She’s an easy-going rescue dog and is very used to being around different people and many animals.
Working with animals is where I have most experience and interest, but I’ve also done a big mix of other workaway projects – eg, building mud houses in Bulgaria, au pairing for young kids in an un-schooling family in Germany, working on an organic vegetable farm in Turkey and land management in France. I find it particularly valuable to work in community-based settings with other like-minded people, but I am very laid back and always adapt easily. I am passionate about living a well-balanced, vegan lifestyle. I’m open to everything and always keen to learn.Centres d’intérêt

I come from a big family and am therefore used to a noisy, happy, full house – be that with kids, animals or just a large community. From dogs and cats to squirrels and degus, I have grown up around animals at home and am not at all afraid of getting stuck in and helping out. Since starting to travel I have volunteered at many animal sanctuaries, gaining experience in advanced animal welfare and care as well as the behind-the-scenes, day-to-day running of a charity.
I also have lots of experience with children (including those with additional needs) from volunteering at children’s summer camps and working as an au pair in Germany.
Skills-wise I’ve done a bit of everything along the way with Workaway. I love being outdoors doing physical work and am quick to adapt to different environments and pick up new skills. My degree is in Microbiology, though I’m yet to use it... For now I’m perfectly content travelling about and have since become an ambassador and freelance writer for Workaway.Âge
