Description

Hello, I am Anna, a Belgian woman of 59 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 haven't found anywhere in the world where I want to be all the time. The best of my life is the moving. I look forward to going."

Please contact me for more details
Friendly regards,
Anna

A big respect and thank you for Celia and Dror for having so much patience and having confidence while teaching us 'grazing their goats'. It has been a wonderful experience because it was challenging me in many ways: the flexibility in thinking how to lead the goats, waking up early every morning, inventing vegetarian recipes, keeping the good … read more

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.

Riku is one of the most generous hosts I have been working for in the last few years. In the beginning, he was very introvert and it took some time to understand what he had in mind. 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
