    Spending most of the summer between Bristol, Sheffield and Wales, then I'm planning on being back in Scotland for the Autumn :)

  • Beschreibung

    I'm from Sheffield (South Yorkshire, England) and have lived around the UK and in Spain, Portugal, Greece and Peru, working as an English teacher, journalist and in lots of hospitality and some building and gardening jobs.

    I've been nomadic and moving around, mostly with workaway, since November 2022, mostly in Scotland so far.

    I love meeting new people and being new places. Travelling places helps me think and puts things into perspective. I enjoy living places and feeling like a part of what's going on. I'm very sociable but also enjoy my own company and don't need looking after... I'm very happy to chill with a book and my thoughts. I've been a couchsurfing host and I know that hosting people can feel pressured! I love board games, music and long chats. I really love busy local pubs with live music. In Sheffield we have regular live folk nights in little pubs that are like living rooms and I miss that!

    I love making things and enjoy craft and art projects. If you're into that as well, we could spend an evening working on our things together.

    MY PLAN / WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR
    I'm looking for both hospitality work, as that's what most of my experience is in, and am also really interested in doing physical outdoor stuff, DIY and renovations. I'm not afraid of hard work, or getting my hands dirty!

    I'm looking to do a mix of unpaid and paid workaways. If the work is for a business or generally worky (like being an au-pair) I expect to be paid.

    HOSPITALITY AND HOUSEKEEPING EXPERIENCE
    I've got a lot (15 years) of hospitality and housekeeping experience, in the kitchen and serving tables and behind the bar (including cellar experience, changing barrels, line cleaning etc). Also more general housekeeping and cleaning experience. One of my jobs was in a YHA hostel where I did a bit of everything: cooking, serving, potwash, cleaning, helping guests. I'm friendly, capable and reliable. I take pride in a job well done and enjoy problem solving. I'd be a great fit for guesthouses and pubs as I've done this work before. I'll happily send you my CV.

    DIY, GARDENING, BUILDING AND LABOURING EXPERIENCE
    I've done property maintenance and gardening, helped with and led DIY projects. I'm happy working with power tools and enjoy problem solving.

    I've got experience in festival build and strike, and would love to get more! I've just helped build and take apart a theme camp, stage and bar at a Spanish burn and loved it.

    Early on in the pandemic I joined Bristol Street Goat, a collective of urban goat 'herders'. We keep goats on a few sites across Bristol and feed and milk them. I've also helped build structures for animals: stanchions, shelters and fences. I've also built my own bed twice and helped a friend build a van bed (there's a photo of us proudly sitting on it in my gallery).

    WORKING WITH ANIMALS


    I want to learn more about working with animals, working with wood, diy, gardening. I love being given a project and being left to get on with it. I'm looking forward to updating the skills section of my profile with things I learn at different workaways.

    **For paid workaways I can send you my CV and references, and am keen on doing a video chat with any potential host so we can get an idea of each other.**

    **I don't send copy and paste messages by the way :=) !**

  • Was könntest du arbeiten?

    I can milk and take care of goats, I take initiative and can be left alone to get on with things. I've also done a lot of customer service jobs and work well with people. I've got a lot of cleaning and hospitality experience. I like physical work and the tiredness that comes from a day at it (especially after having a desk job for the last 4 years) and like gardening, cooking, diy (my experience is so far limited - though I did build a bed!) but I'm keen to develop this, painting and decorating, problem solving. I like animal care and have worked with goats, chickens, dogs and cats. The goat work can be quite physical and includes building projects like building shelters and stanchions and putting up fences. I once helped at the birth of goat kids and I'm not scared of blood and gore, poo etc.

    Some specific experience I've had: * I built my bed (it's a sturdy high bed that's built on top of chests of drawers) to my own design * I was stage manager for an amateur dramatics production so was responsible for making sure everything happened on time, everything and everyone was in the right place * For the same am dram company we built and broke down our own sets at the start and end of production. This involved erecting walls (the theatre was an old church building so every production had to build the whole backdrop and take it down a week later, painting * I'm a member of Bristol Street Goat and as part of this we have regular work days where we fix and build things.

    I'm a TEFL qualified English teacher and have worked as a social media and comma manager so can help with business's social media needs, but I'm mostly trying to get away from that and into the more physical work.

  • Was noch ...

    I love board/card games and crafts. Partcularly chess, blokus, catan, risk, monopoly, hanabi, the mind, gin rummy. I also like pool though I'm not particilarly good at it. Crafts, I like sewing, knitting, papier mache, sometimes arty things. Reading and watching things. I've found that having an activity to do while with people can be a nice low interaction way of hanging out. I love being in the same space as other people while we're working on our own things or on something together, as well as the more direct interactions where you're chatting.
