Description
Hello :) !

My name is Danielle, I am a curious and open 24 y/o female, born and raised in South Africa, traveling in Europe for around 6 months. I have double nationality - South African / Irish. My mother tongue is English, but I can speak French (especially after spending a year in France to complete my Masters in sustainable agrifood systems).
I am a curious individual and I love to have an open heart and open mind. I am now solo traveling to explore, discover, learn, and surely to grow as I meet new people and places. People describe me as sunny, and always smiling and laughing. I also have a sensitive side which I am learning to honour.
I am committed to a sustainable lifestyle, and follow a vegan diet. I enjoy simple meals and sharing moments with people. I will be happy to contribute to your projects, to learn about you and your country and culture, and to introduce you to mine.

In terms of work I am happy to do whatever you need, I enjoy being outdoors and have no trouble with dirt or a few scratches. I love animals and I love children too ❤️.
I have years of experience in tutoring, and I have worked for 1 and a half years for a volunteer organisation working with children in marginalized communities.

By now I also have gained experience in doing Workaways and volunteering - having done 4 this year so far.

More details about your skills
My biggest asset is my positive attitude that I contribute to those around me ! I am willing to work.

I have some experience in gardening, through volunteering while in university, and some knowledge on agrifood systems from my studies (Masters in Transitions in Agrifood Systems). I am also used to helping around the house, fixing things and cleaning.

Since traveling I’ve gained more experience in house restoration and garden work.

I speak English fluently, and I can speak French (less fluently but I can still hold a conversation and have great comprehension).

I can cook vegan and vegetarian meals, and I can bake. I am skilled in writing in English. I have some basic outdoor skills, as I love hiking and camping.

I am also very willing to learn and get outside my comfort zone.

A lovely stay with Zeljka and the big family of animals. Volunteering here was truly a special experience, as Zelkja is incredibly generous and warm, the surrounding nature is magnificent and the animals have so much love to give. The work is not so demanding, and mostly involves giving love and attention to the animals (which is not that hard at… read more

I enjoyed my stay at the farm with annette and Melissa ☺️, and all the animals with their personalities - even cheeky Herbert. There is a way things are done and a schedule and at first it’s a lot of information but once you settle in you’ll be able to manage easily all the tasks and enjoy it. Thank you so much for sharing many meals and chats… read more

I adored my stay with this beautiful family in their house that they’re building with love (and which smelt like apples the entire time I was there 💖). They are warm and very generous, and took very good care of me, always ensuring I felt comfortable. I learnt sooo much about Czech culture and history in my week here, and adore this little town.… read more

Danielle stayed 12 days at our home, she did some work in the garden like painting our little garden house and cleaning the lawn from autumn leaves, she helped me to put some cut wood from the lower field near to the main house and she restored and painted a window and a door. I asked her before checking out to clean her room and her bathroom… read more

I had a wonderful stay with Susanne, Laura and Baru. Susanne is welcoming and generous and looked after me well, even adapting to my vegan dietary requirements. I enjoyed the work I did around the house and in the garden and found it was not too strenuous. I loved taking long walks in the surrounding countryside in my time off, and was able to… read more
