Description
Hello!

My name is Emma and I love travel, languages, the outdoors, meeting new people, and learning about the world! I am from Canada originally but currently living in London.

I have lived abroad for few years now and I love meeting people from different backgrounds and sharing conversations and experiences. I am open-minded, curious, and love learning about new places and cultures. I speak English and French (fluently) and am currently learning Spanish (intermediate) and German (beginner). I love practicing languages with others - I think it is one of the best ways of learning!

My hobbies mostly revolve around the outdoors - I enjoy hiking, skiing, and climbing. I would love to spend some time somewhere warm to do more swimming, snorkeling, surfing, and diving.

I love kids and animals, and am keen to help out in any way I can. I would be happy to learn gardening, basic consturction/DIY, or other new skills. I am curious about different farming techniques such as permaculture, and I am hoping to work outside as much as possible!

I am reliable, open-minded, quick to learn new skills, and have a positive atittude. I would be happy to work with you! :)

I had a great week with Jo and Jake and the other friendly volunteers! The tasks were varied and interesting, and the instructions were clear. I worked on the garden, some minor construction, tending the olive grove, and working on the compost. They are patient when teaching/explaining new skills and they trust their volunteers' independence. They… read more

It was a real pleasure to have Emma with us. Lilly loved spending tme with her and playing with her. Emma was very respectful, friendly and flexible and often offer to accommodate outside our agreed working hours. She was very easy to be around with and will always be welcomed back to stay with us if she wants to.

I had a lovely Workaway experience with Alejandra and Lilly! Alejandra is an amazing woman and Lilly is a happy and enthusiastic kid! They have a beautiful apartment conveniently located in the middle of the town and just 3 mins from the bus station, so it's very easy to get around the island from there.

They don't expect many hours of work each… read more
