  • Description

    Hello everyone! I'm Izzy. I'm 24 years old and I live in a small city in central England. As a university graduate in Modern Languages, I am looking to put my knowledge into practice by travelling around and meeting people from all corners of the world. I am a positive-minded and outgoing person who loves to try their hand at new things. Being outdoors, in nature, surrounded by animals and like-minded people would bring me the greatest joy; however, to put it simply, it would be a real pleasure to volunteer for anyone with a positive mind and a story to tell!

  • More details about your skills

    I am a recent university graduate in Modern Languages, studying French, Chinese & German. My degree has also led me to spending 6 months in Strasbourg, France, as an exchange student. Following graduation, I then spent one year working in Wuhan, China, as a TEFL teacher.

    I have worked a handful of jobs since the age of 16, including waitressing, bar work, retail work & language tutoring. From 2022 onwards, I have also been working in the voluntary sector; participating in a landscape restoration project, administrative work to provide support to disabled children, volunteering for a national homeless charity and, most recently, as a volunteer gardener at a historic parkland garden .

    In addition to this, I have done two previous workaway placements; for 4 weeks in the heart of Gers, France, working on a donkey & lavender farm during which I milked donkeys, fabricated products in the laboratory and harvested plants in the fields; for two months in southern Portugal, working on an ecological retreat farm, maintaining their permaculture farm & gardens and assisting in the Room Care Team during retreat periods.
