Description
Hello! My name is Kris and I'm from the US. I'm 29, easy-going and open-minded, and I care about making genuine connections with people of all cultures and backgrounds. I've lived and worked in all sorts of places, from a five-star hotel to a tropical island to an ex-battleship on the Bering Sea! I'm comfortable anywhere and love a challenge.

I enjoy physical work and learning new skills. I have years of experience in both hospitality and English teaching, and I tend to get on with just about everybody. I'm also a keen hiker/trekker/tramper and I love camping and the outdoors in general.

Kris worked with us here in West Cork for nearly a month and did a great job. She did a load of fairly physical work, including power chiselling concrete and she more or less rebuilt our driveway. The driveway was rebuilt with the rubble from a porch she helped demolish. Kris also did lime pointing and stone building repair for us.

Teaching the English class was fun and engaging; the students are enthusiastic and curious. The food was superb.

What can I say about this amazing volunteer, Kris. I had two wonderful months working with her. I loved this girl so much when she stayed and helped us for the last two months and after she left.

I cannot recommend this experience enough! I learned so much in the two months I spent there and had such a wonderful time.

I began my workaway with very limited teaching experience, but everyone there was extremely helpful and accommodating! There are a variety of English textbooks at the apartment, and the other volunteers gave me plenty of… read more

Kris is a great workaway - and we miss having her around already.

She quickly fits into new environments, loved challenges and didnt mind working with new people.

She's very intelligent, easy going and hard working. Best of luck from Sean, Lizzie and Wiki.
