Hi, I'm Ellie! I love nature and culture, and I'm looking to explore new places and meet new people. I really enjoy getting to know people from different places and backgrounds. I'm also learning Spanish and love any chance to practice. I love being in nature and hiking, but I also enjoy exploring food, architecture, and history.

Que habilidades tienes?
I'm happy and willing to get involved with whatever activities are useful! I'm a trained teacher of English as a foreign language (ESL) with experience teaching both adults and kids. I also have experience teaching music (violin and piano) to kids. I'm a keen amateur photographer so I'd be interested in helping with social media or other types of promotion. Although I'm not an amazing artist, I enjoy being creative and so I could help with any creative projects e.g., painting or decoration. I'm also happy to cook and clean!

I had a great time here! The students, management and other teachers are all lovely and really welcoming. I was teaching 4-5 classes a day when I was there, which can be a lot of work, but they started at 3/4pm so I had a few hours before to go to the beach or explore the island. I was super lucky because the group of teachers there at the time… read more

I spent three weeks working at this school and it was a great experience. I spent most of my time at the primary boarding school near Muñani, and then a few days helping at the boarding house for secondary school students in Azángaro. Before starting I met with Lourdes from the Arequipa office, who was really kind; she helped me with warm clothes… read more and with arranging my bus ticket. At the school, the staff and students were all welcoming. The third day there was my birthday and the staff arranged a little birthday party for me, complete with homemade cake! This is a small school, with only about 50 students and 8 members of staff. That made it easier to integrate into school life, and to get to know the children. I found the students eager to learn English, hard-working, and full of questions about me and my country. Some of the older girls even attempted to teach me volleyball and how to march (I eventually took part in a school march for the anniversary of Muñani).

This is in an absolutely beautiful setting, and you can nearly always see mountains. There isn’t really time to explore this during the school week because being a boarding school the days are long; breakfast is at seven and the kids go to bed after dark. On one weekend I travelled to Puno (two teachers who live there helped me navigate the colectivos), and another weekend I stayed at the place and went on a few beautiful walks around the area. All meals are provided and filling; there’s a lot of soups, rice and potatoes. The place itself is in a very isolated location, but this doesn’t tend to matter since the days are very busy. If you want snacks buy them before you go! (Azángaro, where the secondary school boarding house is located, is very different because it’s in the centre of a busy town.) I also recommend bringing lots of warm clothing. I was there in April and May and it was very, very cold (there isn’t any heating, so you need lots of layers).

This was a lot more work than the previous workaway I have done; as well as teaching English I helped out with other teachers’ lessons and in the dormitories, and by the end of my time there I was pretty tired. My Spanish is intermediate and nobody there spoke English except the other volunteer. I found that immersion intimidating at first, but my Spanish definitely improved as a result! It’s hard work, but if you want an immersive experience in the Peruvian highlands then I would definitely recommend this workaway. The setting is beautiful, the people are welcoming, and the kids are great.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me :)
