Travel information

I am currently

Description

I am currently in Uruguay after sailing/travelling for 20 months in the Caribbean and Greece. I am fit and healthy playing tennis 3/4 times a week and swimming 1/2 mile recently in the UK.

I am a circumnavigator sailing around the worlds three oceans and visiting 84 countries including sailing across the Indian Ocean from Lombok to South Africa and again from Thailand to the Maldives. Other countries I visited included India, Spain, Morocco, France and England. Through Workaway I have assisted with a family in Turkey, bnb in Tuscany, setting up a new hostel in Morocco and helped in a Chateau in Normandy preparing it for the summer bed and breakfast season.
I love helping people in general, am very easy going and see Workaway as a great adventure and learning curve. I can turn my hand to most things.
My career has involved banking, secretarial, IT Consultant, Owner/Operator Award Winning Bed and Breakfast, hospitality at luxury resorts also Accor and Hyatt Hotels. I was made redundant in 2013 and have been travelling the world for ten years, staying in bnb, hostels and hotels also sailing and have crossed the South Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Oceans. I understand what customer service is and love helping people. My hobbies include sailing, tennis, table tennis, yoga, sewing (making a wedding party outfits including brides dress), trivia nights, reading, gardening, meeting new people, learning about different cultures, planning functions ie 'crossing the Equator Ceremony'' travelling and discovering new adventures which has brought me to this site.
I look forward to hearing from Workaway hosts. I have had six wonderful work experiences with Workaway.
Warmest wishes, Christine
