Description
I am well traveled, open minded and passionate about the environment and animals. I love being outdoors and thrive in an environment where I can meet people from different cultures, be part of a project (environment, permaculture, sustainability, animal care) where I can be contribute and be helpful. I am an EU citizen, and also a citizen of the world (have lived on 5 continents and visited over 60 countries). I have worked for international non profits in many developing countries, and now looking to find my home somewhere in Europe, working with the land and surrounded by nature. Perhaps one day I will own my own farm, but until then I'm hoping to spend some time learning from others who are farther down that path, and experience what self-sufficient lifestyle can be like. I have a friendly dog (beagle) which I would like to take along with me for this experience.

We had a great time working with Elena. She is intelligent, active, collaborative and shows in her way of working her long experience of working all over the world. She was always available and enthusiastic about the work we could offer her, about our nature reserve and our farm. We were very happy with her and feel very lucky to have hosted her,… read more

Although short, my week at the farm was a magical time I will always remember. The farm is set in a beautiful place in the hills overlooking the sea, with many beautiful hiking trails all around. While a bit far from the closest town, hitchhiking seems to work pretty well, otherwise I would recommend coming with your own vehicle for longer stays.… read more

Elena was a lovely and ideal workawayer. Hard-working is an understatement. Very willing even to do silly things like cut out pieces of colored paper to hard things like weeding the tough guys. I appreciated conversations with this savvy person and the good food she made for us. It was a rocky week for me but with Elena, everything was smoothed… read more

I spent a wonderful week at Serafine's place, helping out with various projects including some arts and crafts for a festival she was organizing, walking the dogs, watering and weeding the garden. Her instructions were always clear and there was sufficient flexibility in the work schedule. I enjoyed staying in the casita with my own private space,… read more

My first Workaway experience was at Arnaud and Aline’s, and I could not have dreamt of more wonderful place to land. I felt instantly at home, they treated me as family. They have a beautiful finca on a magical land surrounded by wild nature and close to the ocean. We all helped together everyday, the help was satisfying and we shared some great… read more

Elena is a Bulgarian American from Florida which is great because not only can she speak a perfect English (And French) but she also understands pretty well Spanish. Discreet, very hard working, smart, trustworthy and with a very positive mindset, she is the perfect workawayer. We warmly recommand her not only for her excellent gardening skills… read more
