Beschreibung
I am 23 years old and from Australia. I’m a keen traveller and love connecting with people. My passion is education and enhancing the lives of children around the world and my travel is currently being inspired by this passion. I am looking to find out about how different countries and cultures approach education and love finding out about how people try and master the art of living. I’m always up for a laugh and there’s not many experiences I’ll ever say no to :)

Was könntest du arbeiten?
I work in education as my career so working with kids and teaching are my best skills and this is what I generally look for in my workaways. However, I’m also handy in a bunch of aspects and am happy to help out with anything if there’s a project I’m passionate about. I’m able to connect with people quite easily and love a good chat and laugh.

Vom Workawayer (Oliver) für Host (Get trained as an outdoor ...)

I came here as a summer camp volunteer in June expecting to stay two months but as I write this I have already been here 1 month extra and am staying another 2 weeks. I usually limit my workaway stays to 5 weeks but there is simply far too much living and learning to be done here to spend only 5 weeks. The work itself is great, as a summer camp… read more leader I had 10 kids each week from Monday to Friday from local areas and alongside roughly 10 other summer volunteers we would provide them with exciting and outdoorsy activities from 8:30am to 4:00pm. The kids were always were extremely sweet and full of energy. The activities were genuinely really great, this is my third summer camp now through workaway and I’d say the activities here have been the best I’ve done. What I really appreciate with this summer camp is you have a real chance to develop meaningful relationships with the kids because of the smaller group sizes and the kids will remember you as you walk around the town they are always very excited to see you. As great as the activities and centre itself are, the thing that makes this experience special is the people. I had the pleasure with living with 35 amazing international volunteers in Glenada where I shared a room with only one person and had an ensuite bathroom between us. There is a real sense of community and family when you live and work with the same big group of people and as much as it has its challenges, it’s hard to imagine life without them in it. The full time staff who work here do an amazing job at making the volunteers feel welcome and valued because this centre is founded around volunteering and it relies on the joint efforts of staff and volunteers working together to provide memorable experiences for so many people. A special mention to Victoria, Michael, Mark and Matthew in the office who put in so much work to make this place what it is. There is always something going on around the area to keep you busy and the staff make sure to provide you with plenty of opportunities to get involved with local communities to really make you feel like you have a home away from home. From weekly American football afternoons to crochet nights, endless climbing opportunities as well of plenty of day outings to explore the beautiful surroundings, it’s hard sometimes to get time to yourself because there is always something better to do.

I also did a lot of work alongside Michael developing our own large scale project for the centre for over a month which just goes to show how much they value their volunteers. Everything around this place has a bit of magic in it but you do have to go grab it yourself. If you want an amazing experience you will have to go and get it rather than waiting for it to come to you and it’s an amazing exercise in making places the way you want them to be. The possibilities for what you want your time here to look like are near endless. Whether you spend just summer or a year, this place will help you grow so much and provide you with so many opportunities to become a better version of yourself. I always think the best time to evaluate your experience at a place comes when you have to say goodbye. As my time comes to an end here it’s gonna be really hard to say goodbye which just goes to show how much I’ve enjoyed my time here. Thankfully I’m sure it wont be a goodbye but rather just see you soon and I cant wait to see how far this place will have come by the time I’m there next 🐨❤️

Vom Workawayer (Oliver) für Host (Help our team at a ...)

I spent 4 weeks here as an English teacher and helping out with animation, working with lovely kids and beautiful coworkers everyday. The whole team here work so hard to put together a special experience for the kids every camp and give them 6 amazing days which is a privilege to take part in. On top of teaching hours there was always opportunity… read more to join in on excursions such as bowling, go-karting, laser skirmish, museum visits, nature walks, second hand shopping, etc. Teaching was always great, classes of no more than 6 kids and pretty much full creative control goes to the teachers regarding how they want their classes to look. The leadership team really put emphasis on this and you can tell that they trust the people they hire to align with the camp philosophy and they expect you to work hard to give the kids an experience which makes them fall in love with language learning in a classroom environment which is very different and hopefully much better than what they’re used to at school. I often got to use some more unconventional teaching methods and got to really individualise the classes to the students which was something I’m not used to in teaching so this was a genuine pleasure. The food was always A+ thanks to a great kitchen team and Seb’s extra catering for some late night snacks. Plenty of chance to socialise and mix with a group of interesting and king hearted people who have plenty of love to give and make your time spent in Monterêt feel like a family getaway. The location is fucking amazing, I’ll never get used to the view and the access to forest all around and breathtaking scenery from your bedroom window is something I will never forget. Accomodation was also great, I pretty much got my own room for the duration of camp with a view of Mont Blanc from the bedroom window. Although the location is quite isolated, there’s great train systems which run a 10 minute walk away and give you access to all of Switzerland which is definitely worth seeing.

You can tell this is a passion project, made possible by passionate people who pour their heart and soul into this place. These kinds of camps don’t work without passion and a whole lotta love and the team who I was lucky enough to work with had plenty of it and I’m forever grateful I got to be a part of it. If you’re the type of person who wants to jump head first into something and give 110%, this is the place to do it. I have no doubt I’ll be back one day to jump back in on this roller coaster. Lots of love to the whole team and hope to see you again soon ❤️

I spent 5 weeks in Berrechid in Harim’s school. I initially was hoping I’d be placed in one of the Casablanca schools but as soon as I arrived in Berrechid I knew I didn’t want to move. The people in Berrechid make the city so beautiful and I was honoured to share my experience with some amazing fellow volunteers who have become friends for life.… read more

vom Host (Come join our boarding school ...) für Workawayer (Oliver)

Ollie is just a great guy! Our students loved him and for sure we will miss him!!!
Friendly, always ready to help everywhere there was need for help. We loved the way he was talking with the students, we loved the way he was sharing his love for our school.
Hope to have him again, as a workaway, as a friend of our school.

It's actually quite hard for me to put into words how much this workaway means to me. I was fairly unfamiliar with Denmark and the concept of Efterskoles before coming but after 5 weeks here I feel like I have a new home here. All the staff were always incredibly kind and friendly to me and Luca is a wonderful friend to have to make sure… read more

I spent a wonderful 5 days at Tamsin’s place where I found a relaxing but highly stimulating home in Montesquieu. Tam was always very caring in the work she would ask for me to do and would always make sure I was taking care of myself. She would often join me in the work and we would make a very efficient team who managed to get a lot of jobs… read more

There truly is no other place to spend summer than this camp in Ighiu. I will forever be grateful for Dali taking me in last minute to join the amazing team that she manages to build each Summer. Truly, every single person who I met in my 5 weeks as part of this experience will stay with me forever and the skills and lessons I learned from being… read more
