Description
Hi, i'm Claire from Surrey, UK.
I'm keen to sample other ways of life and learn about different cultures.
As an experienced gardener I can assist with seeding, planting, propagating, watering, composting, harvesting, foraging, mowing and gentle land management.
I've gained great experiences working as part of a team and independently using my initiative at different projects with my little helper; we love to discover new places and meet inspiring people.
My ten year old daughter enjoys travelling and workawaying with me. Neve is partly educated using tutoring platforms online. I have a degree in Sociology and am an experienced teaching assistant. I also have a grown up son who is a successful letting agent!
As a trained counselor and Reki practitioner and having worked as a cook in care homes and in children's nurseries, I am used to caring for people and I enjoy cooking; especially curries and jams. As a Priory housekeeper I gained 5*cleaning/ tidying, reorganising and restoration experience. I have also worked as an administration assistant.
In Italy a few years ago I decorated in a medieval castle and also planted a fruit and vegetable garden in the ancient terraced plot. We created paved pathways there too. An enriching experience is always had. Enthusiastic and eager to learn, I am also caring, empathetic and disciplined.
I am conscientious and hard working,happy to roll up my sleeves and getting my hands in the soil. I love being outdoors and staying active. I want to work with the land, to connect with the earth, and to learn how to live in a simple, grounded way — in harmony with nature.
The phenomenon of ‘the school of life’ is what motivates me to be a workawayer—learning and experiencing things outside the classroom,
As a creative, practical person I love ticking off to-do lists. Helping out in many ways, i'm most happy outside, learning and developing new skills, playing, gardening, taking care of animals etc...
We love snorkling and also paddle boarding and kayaking.
I have practised yoga and meditation for 20+ years. I like reading and writing, listening to eclectic music and enjoy good company.
