  • Description

    *Looking for a longer stay (6-9 months) in Edinburgh* from Oct 2023

    Hi! I’m 26 and from Melbourne, Australia :) I have the 2 year UK Working Holiday Visa and have been living in London for the past 1.5 years working as a teacher. I am a qualified teacher, but I want to take a break from teaching and work more in the field of travel.

    My grandma is from Scotland and I have decided that I want to leave London, and spent the remainder of my visa in Scotland instead. (My visa expires in March 2024)

    I would love to find a hostel in Edinburgh that provides accommodation in exchange for work (extra bonus if there is a role that offers payment!)

    I am a people-person and I love chatting to anybody! Edinburugh is my favourite city in Europe, I have been there 4 times already and I absolutely love it. So I would love to assist guests to have the best time possible visiting this amazing city! As well as working at reception and doing check-ins, I am very capable of other hostel tasks such as cleaning, washing bedding, making beds, assistance with breakfast/meal preparation, washing dishes, etc.

    I volunteered at a hostel in the Swiss alps doing this, and I loved the experience, especially meeting guests and other volunteers from all over the world.

    I am an independent, responsible and reliable young woman and will be very respectful of the hostel, guests, and go about my work with diligence. I am also very cheerful, funny, optimistic and easy-going.

    Languages spoken:
    - English (native speaker)
    - Chinese Mandarin (fluent)
    - Italian: Beginner
    - Greek: Beginner

    I have done Workaway 6 times around Europe, mostly staying with families and teaching English to their children and once in a hostel. It's been some amazing experiences and I want to return to this workawayer lifestyle.

    Please content me if you could do with a fun Aussie girl for a long term stay in your hostel :)

    More details about my language interests
    I love teaching English Second Language (ESL) and I love Chinese! I am qualified to teach both in fact :) If there are any language exchange opportunities for Chinese or Italian in exchange for English, I would love to get involved. Also if the need arises for English lessons, I am highly experienced in teaching English, my English classes and private lessons are always fun and engaging! I’ve been learning for 6 months so would love to keep improving that too!
