More details about your skills
After joining Workaway in 2014, I've never looked back. It's become a lifestyle for me!
I hope that I am forever learning and improving new and old skills whilst connecting with people and places. I want to do my best at everything and will always try to help in any way I can.

I play guitar and sing (although not professionally) and music is one of my greatest passions. It’s a creative expression, a way of connection, a universal language, just like the second passion of mine: food! Beginning right at the very source, the ingredients: growing, collecting and harvesting. Using them to create flavour and texture combinations that are delicious and healthy. All of this shared with others!

I have mostly worked in the catering and hospitality industry with jobs such as: waitressing/front of house, cooking, cleaning, at holiday rentals (receiving and parting guests), translating.
I am also good with children of all ages, we can teach each other and learn so much!
I enjoy the arts and creating: drawing/painting, making, constructing, photography. Being with animals and in nature, sports/activities, festivals, the outdoors.
Other interests and pass-times include: free-style dancing, films, books, nutrition, self-development, yoga, languages, vintage/antique/second hand fashion and design.

I like to be optimistic and aim to have a positive effect on this planet! I wish to respect the environment and people within it and try to be as flexible, honest and reliable as possible. I look forward to connecting and sharing experiences with you :-)

Left by host (Renovate little apartment, ...) for Workawayer (Nicola)

Nicky was great. She has a very positive mind. So she makes her surroundings more positive as well. Her cooking is really really, very very tasty. She did all kinds of jobs and never had any trouble with any of them. She never complains about anything. We loved her singing and guitar playing as well. She is always welcome to come back. Cheers… read more

Nicola was a stroke of luck in our life. We had recently moved to a new town and were about to start a new life/business adventure, with all the stress and fears that such moment can cause to a young family with kids, when the "workaway" Nicola appeared and brought to us energy, enthusiasm, joy, emphaty and above all lots of music and smiles.
We… read more

3 years ago, my first workaway started here. By now, this 'exchange' has become something more personal as it's expanded into an ever-growing family, with Barbara and Francesco at the core.
They welcome you with open hearts and a generosity beyond measure.
Their project offers a platform and outlet for all creative minds whilst their restaurant… read more

Nicky is a very open and sunny person, with a very positive attitude to life. It was nice to spend time together and I would raccomend her to other hosts with teenagers kids.She is also an excellent cooker . I wish her the best and we will keep in touch

At the end of last year I spent just over a month with Daria and Leila and had an incredible time! They welcomed me into their beautiful home and the 'work' didn't seem like work at all. Leila is a really nice girl and spending time with her (even if it was often based around homework) was a pleasure. Daria was a great host, she made her… read more

I can't but just say all the best about Nicola, and so I asked her to come back anytime she wants and to work for me whenever will be possible.A person that I can completely trust, and that gives a sense of happiness on my work.
Having such a person in the house it's a real lucky moment.Even if young, she is deep and accurate in everything she… read more
