Travelling
Description

An avid traveler looking to have more authentic and lasting connections to the beautiful places I visit. I'm a novelist so when I'm not working, I'm either typing away or taking long walks.

I'm great in the kitchen (can cook anything from Mexican, Italian, and Anglo-Saxon Sunday roasts). I keep tidy and don't leave a room before I've cleaned up after myself.

More details about your skills

Before my current career, I've assisted in many ways. I've taken care of elderly women after they had a bad fall: helping them get around, cooking for them, making sure they are staying up with all their normal responsibilities. I've assisted in many offices: taking calls, keeping calendars and accounting books, and being the first face many customers see. I know how to work most kitchen equipment and POS systems. Anything else, I'm a quick learner.
Age

What else ...

I could spend all night playing rummy but I'm quite awful at poker. I make the best roast chicken and I want to get better at cooking.

Marissa was with us for about 6 weeks. Great, hard worker. We had two 18th century ceilings in need of cleaning and reinforcing to save them for the next 100 years.

Marrissa has a very calm, even-tempered disposition which is just what we need. She spent 6 weeks with us and we had lots of good chats and debate.

She cooked for us most nights, a great variety of interesting and tasty dishes.

Despite plenty of encouragement, Marrissa took very little time off. She worked on her writing every day so she made … read more

This was my first workaway experience and I couldn't have asked for anything better. The family is lovely, the home is spacious yet easy to keep to clean, and it is located in walkable distance to the city center and the beach!

I stayed for about six weeks, almost every night I made dinner for Kieran and his mother. They are willing to try … read more
