Activities i am interested in:
I like being around people, so would like to work in hostels to talk with all kinds of people, I am interesting in learning new things as gardening and how to take care of farm animals…
Description
My name is Helena, I'm 34years old, I would say I have a explorer soul. I am self-motivated, good in managing tasks and I would say i am better with detailed tasks, such as painting, gardening and hospitality than the strengh ones as farming and such. ..
I did a sabbatical year for 1 year and 4 months Around America, Oceania, southeast asia and europe from 2023 to 2024. Had a bunch of adventures and it was amazing! Workaway was one of the best parts of it! Cause i really like the interaction and community sense it creates!
I taugh english to kids in indonesia, Helped in Guesthouses and hostels in australia/malaysia and italy and helped to organize a film festival in east timor. Discovering these different worlds is my favorite thing!
Then I came Back home to work and now i decided it was time to travel again! Not as long as the sabbatical, but i can’t live without my adventures anymore, I could say i am an adrenaline adicted looking for some zen energy in nature.
So I still wanna see the world and share the experience with the workaway comunity makes it better :)

You won't regret hosting Helena! She's an easygoing, good vibes sharer, funny and always smiling person. It was very easy to communicate with her and I'm grateful I hosted her, appreciated the help but especially the friendship we made. My son loved her and kids never lie! When she left we all felt like saying bye to a member of the family! You… read more

I stayed with Mike for 3 weeks and it was very nice!!! Mike is a very easy going and calm host. His house is not finished yet, but I felt at home very fast! The jobs can be a bit tough, but he usually try to match the jobs you like to do so you'll be happy doing... and they can vary from cleaning windowns to filling a hole with gravel or planting… read more

Helena is such a bubbly, joyous woman. Always smiling, laughing and positive, she was a lovely person to host. She and Margot - another Workawayer who happened to be staying during the same period - built a close bond and it was funny to watch them interacting like a couple of sisters. Helena always tackled the various tasks before her with… read more

Helena was a real pleasure to have working for us. She fit in very easily to our quirky little place and had no issue making friends with the other staff. We have a small team, and they generally manage the jobs themselves which can be challenging sometimes but we never had any complaints from Helena, she did all jobs with ease.

If you get the chance to host Helena, don't hesitate. If it means something to you, both my cat and Grandchildren liked her. Helena was easy to get along with, quiet but a good conversationalist. She was self-motivated, and that works well for me because I rarely have any sort of task schedule. So many times, I was pleasantly surprised by a clean… read more
