Description
Hello everyone,

My name is Laetitia and I just turned 41. After spending the last year working mostly online and independently, I am now looking for a new experience starting (more or less) in June, ideally in a hostel, hotel, surf lodge or guesthouse for the summer season — and possibly longer, as I will begin online university courses in September.

I miss human connection, teamwork and outdoor life. I would love to meet new people, reconnect with nature, improve my surfing skills and be part of a friendly and positive environment.

I recently lived in the Dominican Republic where I worked as a French teacher at the Alliance Française in Santo Domingo. During the summer, I volunteered in a kitesurfing school in the north of the island. My tasks included welcoming guests, preparing rooms, helping at the bar and restaurant, handling check-ins/check-outs and assisting with the daily organization of the place. I also helped with painting and small maintenance projects.

Before becoming a teacher, I worked for several years in resorts and hostels, so I am comfortable with hospitality work, customer service and communication. I genuinely enjoy creating a warm atmosphere for guests and working as part of a team.

I also spent almost a year working on a cattle station in Australia. I love animals, gardening, cooking and outdoor work in general.
I speak French (native), English and Spanish fluently, and I also used to speak Portuguese ("used to" because honestly I almost forgot it. Now I am learning Italian...).

I would describe myself as open-minded, reliable, easy-going and hardworking. I adapt easily to new environments and I always try to bring kindness wherever I go.

Thank you for reading my profile and I hope to hear from you soon!

I stayed at this Workaway for three months, from mid-June to mid-September, after already spending almost a year working in the Dominican Republic, mainly in Santo Domingo. I am genuinely grateful that Henri accepted me with my dog, and allowed my dog to stay both in the apartment and at the kitesurf school. This was a very important factor for… read more

Laetitia volunteered with us for four months and I have nothing but praise for her work here. She got along with everyone incredibly well. She was teaching English and French in our middle school. She would prepare projects and games for her students. She organized an English language treasure hunt, outdoor and indoor games that helped kids learn… read more

I have spent four unforgettable months in the school teaching English and French. The kids are witty and so funny, each day was a powerful dose of happiness and fun!
The school has ponies, a rabbit, a dog and a farm… read more nearby, I really liked to take care of the animals!! During my free time I never get bored as there was plenty to do!! First the kids will always ask you to come somewhere doing something but you can also ice-skate, ski, snowboard ... We also made bonefires and parties!
The landscape is really beautiful! I have been lucky to see it covered with snow and changing in 2 weeks for a green and flourished one. The sunset is the most beautiful I have ever seen and the starry sky was just stunning!! I have also seen deers and huge foxes, mooses are more shy... The lodging was perfect, I had a private room in the girls' dorm.
This is an atypical school, I had between 2 and 4 kids in my class which made the lessons easier as you have plenty of time to work individually with them. They let me plan my lessons as I wished and as the kids are very artistic the lessons became quickly very creative. I have been free to propose whatever ideas/projects which has always been accepted with great enthusiasm!
I taught around 12 hours a week and I helped every monday morning in the kitchen where I could learn a bit of Latvian thanks to Andra, it was always a great time to cook with her. I also helped a little bit in the daily chores as cleaning the floor or washing the dishes (always with a team of kids which makes the tasks 100 times more fun!)
The teacher team is also amazing and I am so grateful that we befriended. Zane and Jakobs are like family for me now. Zane helped me a lot with my classes, she's such a creative person full of ideas and as I told her "we all need a Zane in our life". She is the kind heart of the school. Getting to know her was such a privilege !! Jakobs has become a very close friend, he's a smart person. We had lots of fun and he took me in many places that I will never forget. He introduced me to his friends and his family. I will never forget these life-sharing moments. Since the first days he has also been very concerned about how confortable I felt in the school which allowed me to find my place. I would never thank them enough for everything they have done to me. Leaving the school has been hard ...
I love you all, hope to see you soon.

At times, when I read messages in our mailbox from workawayers willing to come to Rome, I get fascinated by a message and find myself reading it again and again. This happened to me when I read Laetitia's message: since this moment I kept my fingers crossed she would choose Rome as her next destination.
I knew our family would learn a lot from her… read more
