Description
Hello!
My name is Aoife (think FIFA minus the first “F”). Art, animals, nature, dancing, sustainable living, and learning about different cultures are some of my many interests.
I am a hard worker who likes to take initiative and get things done. I have experience in a variety of fields including hospitality, healthcare, landscaping and more.
I’m looking to spend more time in communities that value alternative living, creativity, and connection with nature. I would love to learn more about eco-friendly lifestyles while continuing to develop interpersonal and artistic skills. In return, I can offer cleaning, organising, gardening, animal care, and whatever tasks that need doing. During previous Workaway experiences, I learned about cordwood building, helped create pathways at a blossoming retreat center, assisted with horse care and assisted with mosaic projects. These experiences strengthened my appreciation for hands-on work, community living, and provided me with creative flow.
I’m currently traveling with my 7 yr old 4.5 kg Chihuahua/Pomeranian mix and loyal sidekick, Ruthie.
She’s well behaved, trained, submissive and gets along well with other animals (see pics). She loves her belly rubs and can often find her in a belly up position.
Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. Ruthie and I wish you a wonderful day ahead!

I stayed at Andrews for only two days, but want to write about how welcoming and accepting he was. There was an abrupt change in my plans for a camping trip due to weather. I contacted Andrew last minute and he welcomed me and my travel buddy with open arms and delicious beer upon our arrivals. He was very accommodating, kind, understanding, and… read more

I was so fortunate to be able to do my Workaway at Blai’s magical forest and be a part of his integral personal development project at Boscas.
I stayed in a comfortable rooftop tent. Blai was very accommodating and provided the most delicious and healthiest foods during my stay. Blai taught me how to cook without judgement and was super kind. I… read more

It’s been wonderful to host Aoife in my forest for a week! :)

She has been very helpful, easy-going, independent, proactive, appreciative, adaptable…

Beautiful vibe, values and attitude.

With love and gratefulness,

All the best, Aoife.

My original plan to work for Kate was to only stay for a week and it ended up being extended to 3! Kate is kind, giving, full of life, a fantastic cook, and overall, a fun-loving person to be around. The room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable.
The work consisted of various tasks including organising, cleaning, gardening, house… read more

French: Les mots ne sauraient exprimer mon expérience chez André. Son lieu appartient à un autre monde, un monde plus simple. Il m'a offert un espace accueillant et sécurisant, où il faisait bon simplement « être ». La nourriture y était d'une grande fraîcheur et l'eau, d'une pureté absolue. C'était merveilleux de savoir d'où provenait la source… read more de toute chose. J'ai adoré aller au puits pour y remplir le seau. J'ai adoré la forêt enchantée. J'ai adoré les bains aux bols chantants tibétains qui ont ouvert mon âme. Le travail consistait à organiser, nettoyer, aider à la réalisation d'une mosaïque, donner un coup de main chez un ami à lui et, par-dessus tout, à renouer avec l'esprit et l'amour. Je suis arrivée en ne parlant presque pas le français. Chaque jour, il m'aidait à apprendre de nouvelles expressions et à prononcer correctement les mots.
Dans l'ensemble, ce fut une expérience véritablement transformatrice pour moi, et je lui serai éternellement reconnaissante d'avoir croisé sa route. C'est un saint, cela ne fait aucun doute. Je suis repartie le cœur débordant d'amour et de lumière, avec le précieux rappel de rester ancrée dans l'instant présent. Ce lieu magique occupera à jamais une place privilégiée dans mon cœur.
Merci, André, du fond du cœur.

Eng: Words cannot express my experience at Andre’s. His place is part of a different world, a more simpler world. He provided a welcoming, safe space to just be. The food was so fresh and the water so pure. It was wonderful to know where the source of it all came from. I loved going to the well and filling up the bucket. I loved the magical forest. i loved the tibetan singing bowl baths that opened up my soul. Work consisted of organising, cleaning, helping with a mosaic, helping at his friend’s house and most importantly, coming back to spirit and love. I came barely knowing any French. Everyday, he helped me learn different phrases and how to properly pronounce words.
Overall, it was a truly transformative experience for me and I will be forever grateful for having met such him. He’s a Saint, there is no question about it. I left with my heart filled with abundance of love and light and the reminder to stay in the present moment. This magical place will forever hold a special place in my heart.
Thank you Andre, from the bottom of my heart.

If heaven were a place on earth, this would be it!
Nina and her family have been incredibly welcoming and loving—I instantly felt like part of the family. As the previous Workawayer mentioned, the work was relaxed and informal, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

Although my stay was brief due to a health issue, I want to acknowledge how welcoming and caring Kat and Kiljan were. Their dedication and vision are truly inspiring, and it’s clear they put a lot of heart into their project, which is just so cool ! Not to mention, their food was delicious!

Aoife was a breath of fresh air. She was always upbeat and lightened the mood of everyone! She was very proactive and did a fair amount of organizing (which we always need help doing) without being asked. Her small dog was adorable and extremely well behaved. We would be happy to host her anytime she wanted to come back! I can recommend her highly!

I had the most amazing experience at this place!
One of the best parts of my time there was the chance to learn about cordwood building. It was such a unique and hands-on experience, and I loved being involved in something so sustainable and creative.
