I have been volunteering for a few years now. I volunteered for eleven months in a French school, where i gained experience in teaching. After that I worked as au pair in Spain for several weeks. I also helped out on a yacht where I did all kinds of different things: from cleaning to being a waitress. And then i volunteered with all hands and hearts in the US. That is an organization that rebuilds houses and schools after natural disasters. I have also done quite a few workaways by now: I helped out with a husky kennel and did some babysitting in Sweden, helped repair a boat in the Netherlands. I also did some gardening in Portugal and learned how to milk goats in Slovakia. I have also volunteered in a Hostel before. So as you can see , I am open to all kinds of new experiences:)
