Description
Hello everyone! My name is Carmen and I live in Barcelona. I work as an English teacher in a primary school. I am an easy-going, friendly and cheerful girl who enjoys travelling, meeting people, getting to know new cultures, discovering gastronomy from different countries, etc.
I also love learning languages as well as speaking them! My mother tongue is Catalan and Spanish, but I also speak English, French, German, Italian and a bit of Polish.
I have been workawaying for the last 7 years (except 2020 and 2021 because of covid) and I enjoy volunteering a couple of weeks during my holidays. So far I've been to the Black Forest in Germany, Somerset in England, Québec in Canada and after falling in love with this last country I went to magnificent Vancouver Island in British Columbia! I also had a wonderful workaway experience in Sherbrook, Québec and the Lake District in England last summer.
I've always had wonderful experiences and met amazing people who have become good friends!

I should start by saying: What a wonderful family to stay with! I spent almost 2 weeks with them and time flew, it just felt too short. They are caring and they make you feel at home from the very first moment. When I arrived, Janto, the little one, showed me my bedroom and gave me a really warm welcome. He is such a funny, talkative & expressive… read more

La visite de Carmen n'avait pas été planifiée longtemps à l'avance mais elle fut parfaite en tout point! Nous aimions beaucoup partager notre quotidien et nos diverses tâches familiales avec elle. Je lui ai aussi confié la surveillance de mes enfants sans inquiétude lorsque je devais m'absenter. Femme joyeuse et épanouie, attentive aux besoins de… read more

Quel cadeau de famille! J'ai passé des très bons moments dans cet famille à Sherbrooke pendant 2 semaines et demi. Quelle chance la mienne, vraiment.
It was totally unexpected in my initial plan to do this workaway, but all of a sudden, my plans diverted and I applied to go there in August. Mélanie was a really efficient person who immediately… read more

I spent a wonderful month at Donna's home sweet home last summer! Donna is a cheerful, sociable and warm-hearted person. Without even knowing me, she helped me a lot the first week I was there while she was on holidays. I had the great chance to spend a week with her adorable neighbour Kate & family, who made me feel at home from the very first… read more

Carmen was a pleasure to be around. Her delightful smile, happy disposition and willingness to help out made her a tremendous asset to those working here on the farm. She showed up at a very, very busy time of the year, jumped right in and made a difference right away. I wish her all the best and I hope she has the opportunity to come back soon.

I went to the Farmhouse 1840 at the end of July and spend some days there. Evelyn was nice and pretty communicative. Verne was also very generous and tried to make your stay as pleasant as possible.
The pie making was fun, but there are a loooot of pies and quiches to prepare when the weekend approaches. There were other workawayers when I got… read more

Thank you Carmen, for this great rating! We are happy that you enjoyed your experience at ours sooo much, that you are already planning to come around again - you'll be very welcome! (We do have a lot of workaway requests, many of our helpers stay longer as intended, so knowing ahead helps us a lot to organise our planning :) And Carmen worked… read more

Choosing this as my third workaway and coming to Quebec was undoubtedly the best choice ever. Meeting fabulous Nicola and his natural predisposition to help everyone around him made it of course perfect.
The tasks in the morning can be physically a bit tiring, but sharing them with other workawayers make it easier and more fun. Nicola is always… read more

Living with this wonderful family for almost three weeks was simply the best holidays I could imagine in beautiful Somerset! Janet was a fantabulous host, always helpful, easy-going and with a smile in her face. Kenny was very friendly as well as the four kids and all together a happy active family! I had oodles of fun with them and with locals I… read more

This was my first workaway and I spend roughly 10 days. It was an interesting experience to see all the work that entails running a restaurant/hotel. I learned a lot of things and I had a nice time there. The family are friendly and happy and there's usually a good mood in the kitchen and restaurant. The food is very good and the dishes that leave… read more
