Beschreibung
I've been travelling a lot this year, mainly with family so volunteering has been put on hold. Next year I intend to volunteer again and I'm starting off in Rwanda and crossing the border into Uganda so I'll be away for nine weeks. My time in Zambia was incredibly rewarding, the children were a delight to teach and always had a smile on their faces. I also volunteered in Trinidad and have returned five times as I made so many friends! Botswana saw me helping out at a backpackers in the most wonderful setting and I certainly saw the surrounding area as I travelled with some of the guests with the blessing of the owner. My destinations to volunteer next year aren't limited to any specific area as I would like to see as much of the world as possible. I’m more than happy to help in a bar, restaurant, kitchen (either domestic or commercial,) with any childcare and housework and anything else that needs doing. I have worked for numerous years in education and the hospitality industry and enjoy talking to people and giving the best customer service possible. I’m very easy going, get along with people of all ages and flexible with volunteering hours. I am always happy to help with a smile on my face and try to go that extra mile. Making others happy makes me happy.

Was noch ...
I love playing board games and card games. I enjoy watching films, listening to music and visiting places of interest but am equally happy with peace and quiet. I really like talking to people and finding out about their lives. I’m a good organiser.
I like to cook with fresh ingredients and learn different recipes. I’m also interested in art and history.
I learned British Sign Language some years ago so would probably pick that up quickly again.

Vom Workawayer (Harriet) für Host (Come help with a preschool in ...)

I spent three wonderful weeks teaching these delightful children and I was made to feel very welcome by them and the staff the entire time I was there. During the week at 7.20am I was driven from the 1st school to the school in Muke, a distance of approximately 3 miles (5km) where some of the children had already arrived before an 8.00am start. I… read more

Vom Workawayer (Harriet) für Host (Eco-camp development project ...)

I spent over 3 weeks at this rustic environmentally friendly camp and enjoyed every minute. The engaging guests together with Rupert were without doubt the highlight of my stay. I helped cook breakfast, involved myself with some arty creative projects, helped with dinner ( plus the clearing up) and chatted to the guests. It was a very social camp… read more

As soon as I arrived, Lotte, Miles, their family and all the staff made me very welcome. I felt very comfortable living in the flat with them and enjoyed the casual way they live their lives. No walking on eggshells here!
They both work tremendously hard in the business downstairs so trying to keep on top of things upstairs can prove difficult at… read more

Lovely Harriet! As soon as she arrived on a sunny Sunday afternoon she was a part of the gang. A happy, very chatty. and smiling person that was a breeze to have around. A great cook both for the family and in the pub, she was always there to help as well as work. Great stories from her trips around the world, and this is one experienced Workaway… read more

vom Host (Come grow organic food, learn ...) für Workawayer (Harriet)

Harriet was such a pleasure to have on our farm and part of our family and community.
She was a positive and helpful volunteer with a joyful energy.
She was most helpful with the kids homework. They are doing much better already in their school work. We are so grateful.
We will be welcoming Harriet with open arms every time she returns.
We… read more

Vom Workawayer (Harriet) für Host (Come grow organic food, learn ...)

Wow, wow, wow!
This authentic experience exceeded all my expectations and I really did feel like part of the farm and beyond. Moruga is in the south of the island in an unspoilt part of the countryside where few if any tourists venture.
This made it extra special as I really felt as if I was living as part of the local community.
The farm houses… read more

vom Host für Workawayer (Harriet)

It was an absolute joy and a pleasure to welcome Harriet into our home, she arrived with an energy full of enthusiasm and this was how she continued each day with us. Her thoughtfulness and forward thinking was hugely appreciated and how well she looked after us all was most kind. There was always a fresh pot of soup on the stove and the cake tin… read more

Vom Workawayer (Harriet) für Host (Spend time in our family home ...)

My five weeks with this most welcoming, kind and funny (ha ha, not peculiar) family just flew by and I haven’t enough praise to give them to do them justice.
I felt like a member of the family straight away and Neil welcomed me into his home with open arms.
Lyn-Anne and Neil always made sure I had everything I needed and were generous giving… read more

Harriet is a delightful person, full of energy, full of ideas, creative and very available. She was definitely one of the best who shared everyday life with us. She helped us a lot both in the house work and with the little girls and we all became fond of her. We often cooked together and exchanged traditional recipes. With her I learned how to… read more

I spent the most amazing three months with this wonderful family. The two girls, Raquel and Linda have very different personalities but were equally as much fun to look after.
From the moment I arrived I was treated as a member of the family and Ketty always made sure I had everything I needed. She would spend some mornings teaching me how to cook… read more
