Description

I am currently not looking for any Hosts. Thank you :)

I love my job as an educator, as well as learning about other countries - language, culture, food and it's people. There is a big world out there and I want to travel and experience as much of it as I can. When you travel you grow so much as a person from the people you meet, to your adventures and to the experiences that you have. No two days are ever the same.
Happiness is: walking in the sea/beach in your bare feet, having a coffee/dinner with friends/family, Pilates/Yoga, exploring a new city on foot, a walk in the countryside, my nephews/friends/family, laughing, helping others,

More details about your skills

Grew up and continue to live in the countryside - used to dealing with animals, gardening, painting, sowing and harvesting, in the bog helping with the turf, and helping dad with whatever else has to get done, and housework of course.

Professional experience: qualified primary school teacher - which is my current role, worked in London for a number of years (came back home in 2023) in Human Resource/Learning & Development (in the Construction and IT Industry - went out on site/had dealings i.e., gateman, labourers, head office staff, to the directors and managing directors). After I completed my undergraduate degree, I worked in credit control and accountancy practice(s) for a number of years.

Other experiences: waitressing, reception, bar work, chamber maid, etc from my time working in hotels during my student day in secondary and third level education.
Four months working in the USA on a J1 visa (deli assistant, waitressing, chambermaid).
A year (visa) working and travelling in Australia and New Zealand. Office worker during the week, and waitressing for an events company at the weekend.

What else ...

Learning to swim and I need to keep practicing :)
Love Pilates/Yoga and attend one or two classes a week
Enjoy reading and meeting up with friends for a coffee/dinner
Learning to jive and set dancing - love it.

My ideal Workaway position would be: helping out on a restoration project/learning all about restoration, working/daily life in a chateau :)

I love the French food and wine, culture, language, and it's people after spending last summer in France - and not forgetting the weather :) I want to learn more about the French way of life.
