Travelling
Description
Hi,
I am Charlotte, 29 years old from Belgium.
In Belgium i worked as a social worker in youth care wich i really enjoyed doing. I did miss the feeling of getting out of my comfort zone and experience new countries, cultures, other ways of living, myself,… . That’s why i decided to travel Central and South America for a year.
Workaway seems a great way to travel slow, develop new skills, get inspired by an amazing project/ dream of a host, meeting new wonderful people and settle in for a bit longer.
I am very excited to contribute to a goal and learn more.

If i can learn more during my stay, that would be great. Note that English is not my mothertongue and i am no teacher. I am fluent though and worked/ volunteered with childeren. If i can be off any assistance in teaching i would be happy to.
