Description
Hello, I am Anna, a Belgian woman of 57 years, still very dynamic and always open for new challenges in life.
Mainly, I have experience working in tourism, cooking for catering, assisting in art projects, travelling, etc. . I believe that only with time, people can discover and catch the local culture...I am interested in working on a small farm (working with organic products is a priority!) or helping in a social project .... but every offer or other suggestion of the host is also welcome to help each other...life is nice! Longer stays preferred....

I really enjoyed my stay with Ellen and her family in Tana. It was januari, so it was a big challenge to be and work in the dark hours and the cold. But time passed very quick, to feel home was very easy. Ellen is very open-minded with a strong and free spirit. She is generous and an enthusiastic storyteller who love to share her life experiences… read more

Anna had good organizational skills. She could lead the other workawayers easily and firmly. Of course she also did her own work autonomously and extremely effectively.

But once I did, it was easy and pleasant to work for him. He treated me with the utmost respect, and was always very grateful about the way the tasks were completed.… read more
