Description

I am a 55year old empty nester mom of two . I have a business degree and an English language teacher qualification (CELTA-Certificate of English Language Teaching to Adults). I love to travel and enjoy languages. I am currently learning German and beside gaining some comfort in actually using the language, I would love the opportunity to immerse myself in the culture, to experience the attitudes, thinking, lifestyle, cuisine, the whole package.

Alongside my native land of Hungary, I have also lived and gone to school in the Netherlands, the U.S., Canada and the U.K., I qualify as a native speaker of English.

I am used to taking care of my daughters, a house, a garden and our beloved German Shepherd, so I think I can blend in well with most families and do my share of whatever needs doing. I like to swim, hike and do yoga or read a good book, enjoy colorful conversations with a nice meal and a glass wine. I am a curious, but peaceful person with a nice degree of freedom to enjoy and explore the world.

Left by Workawayer () for host (Get to know the real ...)

I spent a week at Bianca and Gerald’s paradise as a last minute Workawayer and had a great experience. Bianca and Gerald are extremely hard working and kind, welcoming people. I really don’t know how they manage it all. So many things happening on such a large estate and 50 horses, but they always seem to make it work. Their 4 children are used to … read more

Aniko was an absolute joy to have with us. Although she was only with us for eight days, which was the plan from the beginning, she stepped in at very short notice when other Workawayers had to leave earlier than expected.

I have rarely, if ever, met someone with such a calm, gentle and genuinely kind soul. Aniko was always there whenever help … read more

Left by Workawayer () for host (Looking for dog care in ...)

I just returned from doing my first Workaway with Helen. It was short, but absolutely sweet. I spent 8 days with Helen, her sweet dog Pepa, 4 peaceful chickens and loveable garden in the Austrian countryside. I already miss them.

She supported me in this week where ever she could: with incredible pacience she pulled out the weed in my lawn, she walked with my dog Pepa, she cared for my chickens and she prepared me a wonderful hungarian dinner when I was out for my lectures. It is realy sad, that … read more
