  • Description

    Hello!

    After a few years of not travelling nor doing any workaways, I started to miss it and decided to reactivate my account and go for it again, so here we go...
    Let me tell you some things about myself so that you, after having read my profile, can decide whether we can be a workaway-match, so to say.

    * I'm an active and energetic person, and I like to put my energy into physical work and/or exercise. Jobs like cleaning the house, or gardening are perfect for me as long as it's physical work and preferrably outdoors ;-)

    * I regard myself as openminded, curious and interested in many different things, and I am always up for learning new skills. I believe that everything can be taught, so if I don't know something yet, you can teach me if you like.

    * If you are looking for someone responsible, kind, organised and tidy, then I fit the 'job'.
    I like to learn something new, I want to help, I want to do something, so I can really appreciate it if you have a 'plan' for me (or that we make a plan together). I'm very independent, as long as I get the right instructions and/or equipment to do the job.

    * I will mostly apply for hosts who offer enough privacy as regards accommodation. Although I am a sociable and enthusiastic person, who likes to relate with other people, I also like to be by myself, so you never have to feel obliged to entertain me.

    * Also, I am a real early bird. For me, the (early) morning is the most beautiful time of the day and it is my favourite time to go for a walk, have a coffee and do some exercise. These things I prefer to do before my working day starts.
    I enjoy eating healthy and nourishing food and I am a vegetarian.

    Maybe it's a good idea to schedule a telephone call or a facetime meeting so that we can learn more about each other?

    Hope to hear from you!
    With a smile.

    More details about my language interests
    I've studied Spanish in Spain (Barcelona), but that's already a long time ago. Since I simply LOVE the language I'm very interested in becoming a fluent speaker.In the future I might want to dive deeper into French or German as well. For now I'm concentrating on Spanish and also Catalan, since I plan to live in or near Barcelona.

  • More details about your skills

    I have teaching skills because I use to be a personal trainer/manager and instructor (especially fitness, aerobics, functional training, bootcamp). I like cleaning / household / organising / tyding up. I have some experience with a (permaculture) vegelatble garden. I enjoy cooking healthy and nutritious meals (vegetarian). I can help with practicing languages like English. I have experience working with elderly people.

  • Age

    47

  • What else ...

    I would like to travel slowly. Be in a village or city for a longer period of time to really get to know the place, the people, the daily life etc. Workaway gives me that opportunity. I like to do the typical touristy things, but at the same time I like to feel like one of the locals. Also, I like to allow myself to travel without a fixed plan, but instead be open to whatever presents itself on my path and decide in the moment whether or not to go for
    it.
