Description
After my first Workaway experience in May 2023, I made the decision to quit my job as an academic teacher and leave for a while. I love working outdoors and feeling the strain on my body after a day of work.
For the last few years I have been doing some DIY projects in my house and I love it. I love creating something that wasn’t there before. Thinking about how to go about it and, of course, working with power tools. And I would love to learn more.
Also, tidying, organizing and doing laundry are things that I love to do, as well as cooking. It’s like my little zen-world. :) Unexpectedly, I really enjoyed working for a family and looking after their kids as well. It was very fulfilling and special to feel you're part of that family for a while. It's definitely something I would like to do more on my Workaway adventures.
If you feel like I could be a nice addition to your team or family, feel free to contact me!

More details about your skills
I like working in a team of like-minded people and learning new skills. For me, organising and planning come as a second nature. I take initiative and think fast. Which also means that I like to voice my ideas or suggestions and ask a lot of questions to understand the process and choices made (always in a respectful and constructive way). My hands are never idle. Don't like doing dishes, but love to do laundry and tidying up.
Age
37
What else ...
My guilty pleasures are country music, Agatha Christie books and fish fingers. Apparently I have no real talent for sports or anything else that requires a competitive nature. I love a picknick and my dream is to build a treehouse.

there is noting this girl can not do! But foremost and for us the most important is that Clauda is a smart, independent and warm-hearted person. She sees the work and without asking she also helps you with the little stuff in and around the house. She is inventive and came up with some very good ideas for… read more
