Beschreibung
Hello! I'm Heidi from the UK. I'm searching for workaway opportunities in Europe in Spring / Summer 2026. I've had some big life changes this year and would love an opportunity to reset close to nature and contributing to a good cause.
A bit about my background - for the last few years I've lived in London where I work on environmental policy for a government ministry. Before that, I spent 5 very happy and exciting years living, working, travelling and volunteering my way around Latin America (including 3 years spent living in Argentina). My background is in foreign languages and public policy.
My friends would probably describe me as easy-going, sociable and interested in the world around me. I enjoy nothing more than good conversation with interesting people, and discovering different cultures/languages through travel. So far I've been lucky enough to visit over 40 countries and have lived in 6, with many more on the wish list! I care a lot about sustainability and giving back; I try and move through the world leaving a positive impact behind me. In my free time I enjoy - apart from travelling - yoga, reading, knitting, being outdoors (hiking, cycling), cooking, card games and spending time with my friends and family.
When I go to a new place I have always found I’ve had much richer experiences when I immerse myself in a new place as fully as possible, stray off the beaten track and live life as much as I can like a local. There's nothing more satisfying than making new friends who you can share your own culture and experiences with, while learning about their own at the same time! My experience with Workaway is that it’s a brilliant way to achieve this. So far I've Workawayed in Spain and Malaysia - all very different but super enriching experiences.
I'm prepared to do all kinds of work in return for being hosted - whatever's available, really! I'm a qualified English teacher so would be happy to offer lessons (including to children). I speak fluent English, Spanish and have okay French (with some Italian). I have plenty of hospitality experience including working in guesthouses so would be comfortable doing this too. But I'm very open-minded and up for trying other things as well, like gardening/manual projects; I'm able-bodied, hardworking and good at getting down to tasks - I'll cope with most things thrown at me.
If you're interested in my profile, would like to know more about my experience and/or skills/have any opportunities available for me, send me a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
