More details about your skills
I’ve worked at different schools and before becoming a teacher, I worked on the animation team at a theme park, so I know a bit about working in stressful environments (:D).
I've worked in international and large teams in communal settings and I’ve also done some basic repair work, helped with weeding, harvesting, batch cooking, …
Former Workaway experiences were mainly at eco farms, communitites and animal shelters. I love all kinds of animals and grew up with animals around me so I know how beautiful but also time-consuming and exhausting working and living with animals can be. I've volunteered in animal shelters in several countries with dogs, cats, sheep, chickens, donkeys, goats, pigs, … which was simply amazing and I've learned a lot about taking care of animals. -
