Descripción
Hi there, I am a qualified Fine Artist, Art and English teacher, with experience working in the UK, South Africa and South East Asia. I love people and places, photography and food and naturally want to help people wherever I am, highly enthusiastic and inquisitive. I plan to travel through South America overland from Argentina to Mexico and I am also willing to do anything practical like gardening, cooking, cleaning; mostly i love working with paint.
My special interest is the ancient and modern archaeological history and monuments of South America and I aim to see as many as I can. If you are looking for a creative and hardworking, friendly volunteer, I am that person.

Thank you Junior, Paula, and all your family and staff.
I had an incredible stay with this generous and welcoming family. Although we had talked about painting, there was lots of garden work, which I love. So I offered to help weed and do some transplanting. Lots of watering too as that part of the country was very dry then.! I worked in the… read more

Carolina, fue un placer conocerte.
Por 45 días Fue voluntaria en Hostería. Se encargó del jardín y le dio vida, con mucha paciencia regaba las plantas y las limpiaba. También ayudó a que el jardín se expanda. Siempre se manejó con una buena conducta, en su trabajo fue pro activa, integra y se notaba que amaba lo que hacía.

Quentin was a last minute host for me as some changes meant I was in Puerto Lopez longer than planned. We agreed that I would stay for 10 days and do some painting.
Quentin has just begun using workaway so there was lots of space to organise how we would work together so that we were both happy. I had my own room which was great with a shared… read more
