Hi, my name is Stephanie :)

I'd say that my main strenght is that I always follow my heart and do what makes me happy. If I can't change my situation, I change my mindset.

I have travelled a lot in the last years, through my studies, my work or volunteering. All those experiences opened my eyes on the beauty we can find in this world and the impact I can have on it.
Meeting new people, discovering new cultures, understanding the world, questioning myself and wanting to become my best self are my main goals in life. I want to live as deeply and purely as possible and the best way to do that is by getting to know amazing souls.

I believe this is why Workaway was created.

I want to learn, be creative, teach others everything I know, listen to interesting life stories, take parts in big projects.
I love yoga, meditation, nature, languages, anything that can help me connect with myself, others and the world surrounding me.
In my free time I like to color, take care of my plants, build different stuffs for my apartment, practice languages, read and do sports. My brain needs fuel through different types of activities. I want to learn as much as I can on any topics.

Honesty, empathy and good communication are my strenghts but also values I hope to meet in people I surround myself with.

I am currently an English teacher in Highschool. In the past, I worked in Bolivia in a NGO, worked as a bus driver for summer camps on USA's West Coast, did employability training with Inuits (Indigenous in Canada), walked around 100km in 6 days in Patagonia. I can do anything I put my mind to and most importantly, I make my dreams happen. Because as much as I can believe in destiny and Karma, I also believe I'm the creator of my own life and happiness.

Soon I will be leaving for America latina and I want to go to Brazil. I started to learn Portuguese few months again and I definitely want to improve it. During my trip, I am looking either to teach English or to join a community and participate in building it.

Was könntest du arbeiten?
I can do whatever you teach me. I am a good and fast learner.
I had a lot of varied experiences in the past.
I can do manual work (cleaning, gardening, small repairs, painting). There are many tools I got to know how to use, but there are still some things that I need to learn.
I can teach languages (I speak French, English, Spanish and I'm currently learning Portuguese).
I studied in Human resources and International business so I have some managing skills, I also have a lot of experience using databases (mostly in Excel).
I can cook pretty well (Mostly vegetarian and vegan food tho).
I love kids and teenagers and I have a lot of experience working with them. Through summer camps or as a teacher.

Vom Workawayer (Stephanie) für Host für (Experience local culture ...)

Where should I start to describe this amazing experience?
First, the students. I had 6 different groups with different levels. From 2 to 6 students per group. I had kids, teenagers and adults. A great variety but they all had one thing in common; they were amazing students, curious, smiley, always happy to be there and to participate in the… read more

vom Host (Experience local culture ...) für Workawayer (Stephanie)

We loved to have Stephanie around. She is a very straightforward person with a great sense of humor, always in a good mood. She is an excellent teacher, punctual and organized. We had good times together. We were really said when she had to leave because it is never a good thing to see the people we like going away. She didn’t stay with us at our… read more

Vom Workawayer (Stephanie) für Host für (Help out on a little ...)

I only stayed two weeks since there was a flea infestation. I had seen a Google review stating this problem before arriving on the farm, but Simon told me everything was under control. It was not. A volunteer who arrived one month before me was covered with bites.
This really had a huge impact on my experience because it affected my sleep and no… read more chemical treatment was authorized. Tried using natural products like essential oils, vinegar and other stuffs to at least keep those away from my bed, nothing worked. After leaving it costed me a lot of money to get all my cloths cleaned and treated to not bring fleas somewhere else, not mentioning all the other costs related to transport and accommodation I could have saved if I had decided to fly directly to my friend in São Paulo in the first place… Some other people were not too affected by the fleas, maybe they got used to it or their blood did not taste that good hahaha
If you still want to go, I have to say that appart from that I would have loved to stay longer, Simon is a very nice person and the kids are adorable. He always made sure I understood everything that was going on because my Portuguese level was not very high. We had great conversations all together. The other volunteers were also very great. The freshness of the products we ate everyday and learning about the process to make the cheese was very interesting and enjoyable. I discovered new flavours by eating flowers and plants I never tried before, the famous PANC 🤘🏻! We ate a lot of roots, pumpkin, beans and rice (aparts from the leaves 🍃). I was there during winter but would be curious to see what are the products we can find during summertime!
Finally, I feel some information could be more clear when we arrive, like the projects that were developed before and the next goals. I know that I need more clarity and guidelines to be able to develop something.
If you are a relax person, not very worried about what’s coming, that might be a place for you. There is a lot of space for everyone to try and learn at their own rhythm. It’s also a good place to develop your own small project on your free time in the afternoon since everyone is open to new ideas.
Thank you again for everything and for being so thoughtful of my allergies when preparing food.
It was very appreciated.
All the best
Stephanie
