Description
Dear Host,

My name is Doris. I am excited to share with you that I am currently traveling in Sri Lanka.

In my past years I was mainly working in a tourism. As a hotel manager my top priorities at work are reliability, efficiency, patience and respect.

During my work I also finished a carpentry school. The education provided me with basic practical knowledge.

Beside working and reparing, I also love travelling. For me its a way to realize my personal growth. From this perspective I apreciate the Workaway platform. Its not just about travelling, its about participating and helping each other. This memories are the reason of my travels.

Thank you for your time in reading my profile.

I wish you a happy day ahead.

Doris is a very quick learning volunteer and helpful I’ve had. She did help us a lot during her stay that I don’t know how to thank her. One time I had to stay in the hospital for my pregnant test and she handled the job at the reception very well. Indeed, she is very good at reception job really. Thank you again Doris!
