Description
Hi, I'm Joanne from Yorkshire and just beginning with my Workaway experience. I took the opportunity to study languages whilst raising my children and for the last ten years I have been house/pet-sitting throughout Europe and working remotely in mainly translation, editing and writing. I have volunteered with many projects in my local community previously and abroad including teaching language skills to refugees and others and also in community green spaces on city allotment sites where we grew many vegetables and herbs on a permaculture basis. I love nature, travel, culture, music, books, hiking, and the outdoors and keen to get back into volunteering and meeting other travellers and hosts from all walks of life on various projects.
