Description
I’m Alba, I'm from Barcelona (Spain) and I’ve been a full-time English teacher for the last 11 years.
I’m looking forward to travelling anywhere in summer to practice my English and living new experiences. I’m a quick learner, I like challenges and I'm someone who likes to explore, discover and have some goals in life. I love music (there's always music at my place), animals, travelling (I’ve lived in the U.S., England and Scotland), swimming (I go swimming three times a week) and I also like walking, trekking and I’m very active: I can’t stop doing things! I’m hard-working, positive, sociable and outdoorsy. I love meeting new people and getting to know new places and cultures. I’ve been travelling around the world, not only as a workawayer (US in 2017, Ireland in 2018, Vietnam in 2019 and France in 2021) but also for leisure.
As a workawayer I look forward to getting away from the big city for a while, getting to know other countries, working and staying with you and be as helpful as possible!! Thanks!!
If you'd like more info, just ask!!

Sybilla and Claude’s place was a home from home: kind, warm, welcoming and helpful to whatever I needed. Tasks weren’t hard work at all (some gardening, laundry, ironing, …) and allowed you plenty of spare time to relax, go walking and visiting some interesting towns: Tolouse, Carcassone, Revel,.. I highly recommend the beautiful lake just less… read more

Alba is a charming, very pleasant and balanced personality.
She speaks French very well. She eats all, but no peas, please. She can't stand them. She helps whatever you ask her. We spent pleasant 14 days together and can warmly recommend her to every host. She is always welcome in our house.

Xin Chào! An incredible and unforgettable experience! I stayed with Lisa, Sam and their family for a week and wished I had stayed longer! They treat you as part of the family; they are generous, kind and caring which is great at making workawayers feel like they belong here.
Their house is not far from the centre; you can take a Grab Bike for 2-3… read more

I had a great time staying with Mairead and Tom! They truly went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and enjoying my stay. They are great people with incredible hearts, very kind and generous!

We really enjoyed having Alba live with us this August. She was very easy-going, friendly and got on well with everyone in the family. She was always willing to try any work we gave her and did a great job in our garden and house. We miss her already!

This was my first workaway experience and one I’ll never forget!.
Ingrid, Sean and their three sons have a great place, and the town and its surroundings are relaxing with many amazing spots.
I stayed there almost a month. Work was no longer than 5 hours a day (mainly gardening, weeding and some housework) but didn't feel like that, in fact Ingrid… read more
