Description
Im Tanya from Canada/India/USA! I'm really social, outgoing, and always willing to learn! I have a passion for travel and language (I love to talk!) I actually discovered my passion for language exchange and kids through Workaway (I’ve been doing Workaways around the world for years now) and actually moved to France on an au pair visa! Travel to me isn't a simple vacation to momentarily escape my reality; it's a learning experience. It's like work and school combined in a way, and there isn't any other way I'd rather it be! I want to challenge myself to pack light, overcome any and all challenges, push myself to do new things, and live as minimalist as possible, all while helping, learning from, or teaching something to everyone I meet.

I love cooking, cleaning, general housework. I’ve done Workaways related to farm work too which have been great but I tend to gravitate towards living with families and helping with kids or around the house. I find that it’s the best way to truly get a feel of what daily life in a new country is like.

Healthy, vegan food is really my biggest interest and passion! I loooove good food. I’m a lot more flexible in how I eat now after years of travel but I will always prefer to cook/eat with as little animal products as possible.

I'm really interested in working outdoors as well, but I don't have too much experience with it so I'm definitely going to need proper instruction for that kind of work.

I love workaway because it's a combination of my favorite things: travel and helping people!

Our time with Tanya was great. She is a very bubbly, very open and communicative person. Talking to her is a pleasure and so far, she was the only person that stayed with us that actually, independently, made friends of her own in the village, which in it self is sooo impressive.

Our favorite thing about having a workawayer with us, are the… read more

I looooved staying here! this family is sooo sweet the kids are sooo amazing and social I had an amazing two weeks here. I learned so much about the country from (in my opinion at least) a very unbiased perspective! Isifiya is a Druze village which I think is a pretty significant culture in Israel to learn about! the work is simple you basically… read more

Tanya was a very friendly, intelligent (switched-on), positive, interesting, fun and enthusiastic young woman.
We were greatly pleased to show her some of the sights around here and it was so refreshing to have someone who really appreciated the beauty of this area and the Spanish culture. We did a bit of sightseeing in Picos de Europa National… read more

oh god what can I say about Jane! What an inspiring woman. So fiery and worldy but if you don't believe me just listen to literally any one of her stories. I could talk to her forever and ever and never get bored. She is honestly the type of person I aspire to be and after getting to know her it just intensified my desire to explore the world,… read more

I had such a great time here. Rinku and his family were soooo sweet I spent all my time with his wife and kids and met a lot of their extended family as well. I really felt like a part of the family. I got really close with the staff as well. They became my really good friends and taught me sooo much in the kitchen. All of them taught me a lot of… read more

I had fun here! I just chilled a bunch and spent a lot of time with Toffi and his friends (aka all the people who keep coming in and out of the homestay)
I learned soo much Hindi and other things in the kitchen
I feel like this homestay is just a center of fun for everyone in the whole town. You’ll get to meet a lot of locals who are friends of… read more

Awhh what a great 6 weeks this was. I really loved my little Spanish family! They were honestly so sweet and so helpful and my only "job" (if you can even it call it that) was to speak English! This experience was such a crucial part of my overall Spanish experience. They really taught me what a typical Spanish family is like. I even got to meet… read more

what an experience! this was my first workaway and i didn't know what to expect going into it but even though i only spent 3 weeks with her it was definitely life changing. When i got here it was a huge shock for me because her way of life was so different from mine and it definitely took some adjusting. But i learned so much (especially… read more
