Description
I enjoy travelling to places I have not previously visited and being out of my comfort zone. What makes me happy is meeting new people, spending time with friends and family, learning new skills and completing a task well.
My working life has been spent as an Exec Assistant & Office Manager so am very good at admin, organising, planning and event management.
I project managed the complete renovation of my current home last year and have transformed the garden too.
I am good with people and build relationships quickly.
Some years ago I worked a summer season in a hotel so am familiar with the amount of work involved in preparing rooms, hosting guests and organising groups and events.
In the past I owned a house in the Charente so learnt to speak French through my neighbours, and while in the UK, through Alliance Francaise. My French language skills are rusty at present as I don't use it day-to-day but when I return to France to spend time with my friends, it comes back very quickly.
I can offer Workaway Hosts a hard working pair of hands that can help you with admin, gardening, cleaning and cooking and I am flexible and willing to have a go at doing most tasks. I also have a great sense of humour and am a very positive person!
