Hi there, I am a qualified Fine Artist, Art and English teacher, with experience working in the UK, South Africa, South East Asia and Tunisia. I love people and places, photography and food and naturally want to help people wherever I am, highly enthusiastic and inquisitive. I spent some time in France, Belgium and Northern Ireland, right now I am gardening in Shropshire. 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 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.
Check my profile. In 5 years I did 37 workaways in South America and Europe, including England and Northern Ireland. Please invite me. 🙂Intereses

Caroline is an absolute pleasure to have around, in every way. She is highly motivated and anticipates work to be done - a fairly rare quality. I would think, 'must put the washing out to dry' and it would already be done! She really gets into the spirit of the projects to be done and offered practical and sensible ideas.… read more

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.

She also helped with mud mixing and cobbing around a doorframe. She even did a bit of pottery.
