LATEST UPDATE:
I am vaccinated TWICE + extra booster ( PFIZER) and ready to hit the road again after 15 months.
Hi there new potential host! Nice to meet you.
I’m Quin, bilingual ( English and Dutch) and I have been workawaying a long time.
I have seen all continents ( besides antarctica) and lived in interesting places with local families/ hosts ( Australia, Tasmania, Brasil, Hawai, New Zealand, Canada, Costa Rica, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Eastern Europe, Scandinavia, Southern Europe, UK and Ireland,Thailand, USA, and many more to write down...)
My language skills.
Native: English and Dutch (Dutch in school, English at home because of my international family)
I have a TEFL and TESOL degree ( teaching English as a foreign language)
Good: Italian
Basic: French
Enough to survive: German, Portuguese, Spanish, Afrikaans.
Understanding :English, Dutch, Italian, French, Spanish, Afrikaans, Portuguese and German.
I have Facebook and whatsapp for faster and easier contact to arrange things.
I'm looking for accommodation (experiencing the local life in your region) in exchange for working or helping at your place.
The village of Lortet in the French Pyrenees (I've been back 10 times already) was my first workaway and due to this positive feeling and experience, I kept on doing this format.
These hosts are like a 2nd family.
You can see my references/feedback from most of my previous hosts down below.
I am honest, direct in communication , I like to help people and energetically strong.
Diploma golf ( hcp 4 ) instructor.
I like ice-hockey and football.
I worked as a cycling guide in the Alps and Pyrenees. I have a golden certificate from the Marmotte Pyrenees 2017. 200 + kilometer rides in the mountains aren't a problem.
I'm a hard and dedicated worker.
I am a non (alcohol) drinker and non smoker, but I am mental enough sober ;-)
Not a believer of any religion. I'm an atheist.
But I RESPECT any religion, so I have no problem with it as long as it has no extremes.
I prefer living the local life rather than seeing touristic things.
For example a coffee in a local bar instead of another statue, church, shopping street....
I have literally been living-working around the world so I am pretty experienced with various type of people and their culture-habits-religions-food-way of life etc...Interessengebiete
