Description
Hello!

I am looking to explore new cultures, to meet new minds and to get stuck into a new projects! I love to learn and to try out new ways of living. I am an artist, I have a degree in art and would love to bring my creativity through in any way possible, I want to make art accessible, playful and free. I have had experience mural painting and have helped design a logo for a social farming project. I am also interested in gaining knowledge about gardening and off grid living. I enjoying cooking in my free time, happy to cook for you also. Yoga and meditation are also important daily rituals for me so would also be interested in any projects to do with that.

Cecily :)

More details about your skills
Art is a deep passion of mine. I have a BA in Fine Art, I specialise in photography, video, writing & sculpture (with knowledge of welding) . I have video editing skills, with knowledge of how to use software's like Adobe's Premiere Pro and basic website building skills.

I write a lot so can help with creative writing or more simple writing like translation to English as I am a native English speaker. Furthermore, I have had experience volunteering in a British language academy, so would be able to help teach English.

I have volunteered on farms before and am always happy to be working outside!

I have had experience working with children as a babysitter and experience looking after pets.

I have worked in hospitality as a barista which taught me good communication skills and to work well as a part of a team or independently.

I have lived aboard for 4 months in Amsterdam where I studied art as an exchange student, I really enjoyed the experience living somewhere new and felt I could dive the new environment.

What a powerful woman. I really valued this experience volunteering at Sanna’s self-built eco house, as she really encouraged me to learn new beneficial skills. She had trust and confidence in me to carry out the carpentry tasks independently. She is an extremely hard working and creative - just look at her house as the biggest example. Best of… read more

Cecily was a great part of the team, such a nice girl, a hard worker, very easy going and we had a lot fun together with her and the other workawayers. She really fits into any group of people and she is also a great artist and made us a beautiful gift for the Glamping. Keep up the good work Cec!

Janeck was a great and kind host, we stayed two weeks through the sun, rain, hail and snow. He has a really beautiful glamping site in the middle of France. There was lots of different ways you can help, Janeck always made sure you were happy with your tasks and provided us with lots of food, the hagel slag was definitely well loved by all of us.… read more

I stayed with Jan for 5 days, he was a very kind, relaxed and considerate host. The work was varied, there was gardening to do, chopping fire wood and helping him in the forest. I learnt a lot about different gardening machines and tools here. I also found it really inspiring to see his work in the forest. He provided us with food and kindly made… read more

I had a wonderful two week stay at the farm. Since the moment we arrived I felt so welcomed by Bourama, Eva and everyone there. I enjoyed the routine of watering the plants, cooking and speaking to one another. It is a really inspiring project that sets an example to the future of Casamance to use and enjoy its powerful resources. I will always… read more

Cecily was only able to stay a short time (2 weeks) but we enjoyed our time with her. She is polite and adaptable, got on very well with everyone including other Workaways, and was always cheerful and energetic, able to amuse herself as well as co-operate in projects, and eager to learn. She left able to spin, weave and make felt, so she's a quick… read more
