Description
Hi! I'm Aline, a primary school teacher from Belgium. I have always been interested in other cultures and I love travelling. When I was young, my family and I moved to China for almost four years, which is probably where the adventurous side of me comes from. I'm a pretty calm person, but I also love being active and testing my limits.

I find happiness in the little things in life and go on small adventures with my dog. I've always liked to do something meaningful, which is why I love teaching and have also done some small volunteering jobs in the past. A small part of my teaching internship was completed in Uganda, where I got to see a whole different side of education. Unfortunately, my time there was cut short due to COVID, and I had to return early. It was really challenging, but I would love to go back one day and meet up with the teachers there.

I have already seen a lot of beautiful countries in Asia and Africa, but the trip I loved the most was a group trip to Tanzania, where we volunteered in a rural village, planting trees and building toilets. This is what I want to do in the next couple of months: traveling while doing something rewarding and meaningful and meeting new people.

More details about your skills
I have a bachelor's degree in teaching. I teach in Dutch, but my English is pretty good since I went to international school from 2nd to 5th grade. I started making my own jewelry a year ago and sell some items to friends and family. I've lived on my own now for about two years with my dog, Mayla, whom I trained by myself. I love working with children and animals.

I had a wonderful time in Latacunga. The volunteering experience was exactly as described. Being a teacher, I taught most of the classes on my own. The kids and teens were so easy to teach, and I didn’t have any trouble communicating with them, even though I only know beginner Spanish. Apart from teaching, we also had the opportunity to attend the… read more

I can’t describe how amazing my time in Quito was. I stayed for a month, and leaving wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be. Karina and her husband were lovely, and it’s hard not to fall in love with their two adorable children.

I stayed with Karina’s in-laws, and they are one of the nicest families I’ve ever met. Even though I only know some… read more

This was my first Workaway experience, and it couldn’t have gone any better. Because of my limited Spanish, communicating with the kids was a bit of a challenge during the first few days, which sometimes led to funny situations. However, by getting creative and thanks to the kids being so nice, teaching was so much fun and rewarding. Lina was an… read more
