Description
Hello! Bonjour! Hola!

I'm a Kiwi, born in London but raised on the Kapiti Coast near Wellington (NZ). I grew up next to the sea in a small village helping my father replant native trees in the escarpment nearby. We aimed to try and encourage native birds to come back to the area and it worked! I love the outdoors, animals, travelling, teaching, sport, swimming, reading, cooking, culture and languages! I speak English fluently, proficient French and conversational Spanish (which I am looking to improve). In 2017 I went on exchange in France for a year and spent the summer holidays doing workaways in France and Greece. While at University I was employed as an English tutor and as a manager at a restaurant. Since graduating with a first class Honours degree in English Literature last November I have been teaching English at a Colegio in Sevilla while learning Spanish. Once my contract ends in June I would love to spend the summer holidays and perhaps further into the year helping out different projects or families in Spain or around Europe! I want to get to know the local lifestyle, meet interesting people and improve my language skills. I'm hard working, respectful and looking to make you happy you welcomed me into your home :) If you have any questions please send me a message!

I had a lovely time with Donna, Nik and their many pets at their incredible home! Everyday there was something new to do or entertaining people to visit and I was really made to feel like part of the family. Donna is a wonderful cook so mealtimes with wine and boardgames afterwards were an absolute pleasure! The work was also varied, ranging from… read more

Mila is cheerful and easy-going. She is a natural with young people and was a great help to us during a week when we were hosting a 15 year old guest. She mucked in around the house and was willing to undertake gardening and cleaning jobs as required. Mila is interested in the world around her and we enjoyed some good conversations. She was a… read more

I had an absolutely amazing time staying with Sharon, Jean-Jacques, Sandy and their adorable animals! They gave me so many new experiences like flying over the Dordogne, Truffle-hunting, playing Petanque at a renovated chateau, drinking 30 year old wine and so much more! Staying with them feels like being welcomed into a lively family, always… read more

Mila worked well with us during her stay. We bramble bashed mostly and cleared up the donkey field, did a bit of house work and played cards (she taught us Canasta) and domino games (Mexican Train). A good 8 days (24 April to 3 May).

(Very good )

I had a lovely first workaway experience with Helen and Keith and highly recommend staying with them! They have a beautiful house full of every and any sort of animal well looked after and loved. The countryside nearby is lovely but there are also places like Mont st Michel and Rennes to visit as well, both of which they were kind enough to take… read more
