Description
I'm a Belgian woman who has been living in Chile for 29 years. I speak Flemish, Spanish, German, French and English. I come from a big family of 8 brothers who live in Belgium, and I felt in love with chile and his nature. My main reason of being in Chile was doing social work, volunteering and family.

During my years in Chile I have received many joung people who stayed at my place while visiting the country or helping in our social project, and also friends and family who have traveled in Chile.
I have heard many good comments about workaway from them and they recommended me to try it out as my home in Olmué would be a perfect place to travel to and to visit.

FYI: we do have a swimmingpool!

Cómo escribimos en su libro personal de visitas, fue un placer compartir una semana en la casa de Rita! Ella es súper atenta, amable y graciosa. Le cuesta delegar un poco las tareas por qué te hace sentir parte de la familia en todo momento, por eso como voluntario es una buena oportunidad para tomar iniciativa y proponer ideas de trabajo para… read more

Our experience in Rita’s house was awesome. She’s really nice, at the first she didn’t have place for a long time stay (because she had already 5 workawayers), but she accepted to receive us for a couple of days.
We were receiving really well, with food and a bed. We help her to clean the swimming pool and we cooked.
We felt really free in her… read more
