Description
Hello / Bonjour / Adaab / Ahoj! My name is Adelaide and I cannot imagine my life without travel and language exchange. I am from New York and have studied abroad in France, Czechia, and India. I am currently working as a French tutor and in the service industry but will soon enough be a librarian! I will start my Master's of Library Science in August 2023 and would love to go around the world with Workaway to practice my langauges and learn some new ones before my next phase of studies begins.

I love learning and teaching langauges. My hobbies include distance running, synchronized swimming, writing and recording music, and having adventures with friends.

FOR MALE HOSTS: Do NOT expect anything sexual. I've never had issues with Workaway but I once had a catastrophically predatory experience using Couchsurf. I will report any inappropriate behavior so please just be a decent human!!

More details about your skills
I have some farming skills which I learned while working in a local apple tree nursery and vegetable farm. I love working hard outdoors and am not afraid of a bit of mud. I would like to learn more about sustainable farming and growing all sorts of foods.

From my experience working in the music recording industry, I have some knowlede of electrical systems, particularly sound equipment. I am happy to work with my hands and learn more about this field. I have strong skills in photography, video, and recording hardware and software.

Most of all, I love language exchange. I have taught English and French in both formal and informal settings and would love to learn as many languages as possible.

Left by host (Spend your days with an art ...) for Workawayer (Adelaide)

We really enjoyed having Adelaide around and learned to appreciate her. She was with us for three months and helped us in the garden and in the house. We especially enjoyed communicating with her. We learned a lot about her home country and her travels. She knows a lot about languages and is a sensitive, respectful and very mindful person.… read more

I stayed with Regine and Younes (and Boby, their little dog) as my first workaway experience for three months and it could not have been better! They are the kindest people and I was truly sad to say goodbye. Their home is comfortable, they make sure I had what I needed, and it was a pleasure to work in their garden and around their home. We had… read more

I stayed with Howard for a weekend while visiting some friends in Prague. He was communicative and flexible about when and how much to work. Everything I needed to clean was already there and it was easy to get started. He was really kind in offering for me to come for a beer with him and his friend. I felt safe and comfortable here as a solo… read more
