Descripción

I am motivated by good company, chances to be creative and by trying new things.
The things that bring me the most happiness are spending time with nature, exercising (particularly yoga and hiking), cooking and finding people who I can laugh with and share experiences :).

Que habilidades tienes?

I have teaching/language skills. At the moment I work as an English language teacher in Dublin. I am a fluent English speaker and an intermediate French and Italian speaker.

I have skills in needlework and crochet, I am good at tasks that are delicate or need close attention.

I have good people skills, having worked in the hospitality industry in Ireland for approximately four years. In this time I completed food safety training, worked in food preparation, as floor staff, and as front of house at a busy restaurant, as well as a bartender for several months. All of these positions have strengthened my ability to focus and communicate positively and clearly.

During my college years, I also undertook a module in art therapy, where I learned how to use art as a tool for maintaining a healthy mind. I would be interested in sharing this knowledge with people.

Dejado por el workawayer () para el anfitrión (Learn about hospitality and ...)

My time in Chilcotin was beyond wonderful!! My room was spacious and comfortable, the work was easy and well explained. The lodge is a really lovely place to work at, I came in June and July and there were bluebirds and chipmunks running around outside, like a Disney movie! Brenda and Kurt are extremely supportive people and always made sure I had … read more

Esme was a tremendous help while she was here just over one month. She is very kind, intuitive and was always there to help in any way needed.
Our animals loved her and we all enjoyed her company and her humour. We certainly miss her and hope the best for her travels in the future.

Esme contacted me prior to leaving her home country, Ireland, three months prior to her arrival here. . Her plan was to arrive the 3rd week of July to partake in the Roots and Blues music festival as a volunteer, a commitment she had made with the festival organizers.
This time of year is very busy with volunteers wanting to work and stay to … read more enjoy this amazing music festival. Unfortunately for both me and Esme, the host she was staying with tole her..(apparently) told her she could not leave before the end of July as she needed her to assist with guests - I assume a BNB business - maybe?
Esme told me she was going to talk with her host to explain that I was expecting her.
Anyhow, maybe not completely her fault although I had kept a room free for her that I could have let another eager volunteer stay in or I also could have rented out the room to a festival-goer, which I have done in the past, as all the hotels fill up fast.

Regardless, she assured me she would come the end of July, then not till August 5th, again holding a space for her, t
She was offered a ride with another workaway, and when it was clearlynor working out, rather than catching the bus, she had originally planned on taking, she went silent for a while.
Then she wanted to stay in Vancouver for a little longer, again I made an exception and I told her that was ok and to enjoy her stay.

Next challenge was that Salmon Arm was blanketed with smoke for a few days from a fire about 2.5 hours away. I told her I completely understood if she did not want to come, but that the suite downstairs had very clean fresh air and I would have work for her to do inside the house until the smoke cleared and she would work outdoors.

Then the smoke cleared and all was good but she wrote to say she wanted to stay in Vancouver instead of coming.

Not completely her fault although, helpers do not always realize that as hosts we do extra preparations for their arrival, turn others away, and purchase extra food and make meals ahead for them. It was very disappointing to me. I had delayed planting in the garden, some vegetable s for Fall and kept delaying the task as I was hoping she could do this task as a learning experience. Unfortunate for me now, it is just a little to late to get those into the ground for success in the fall.

I wonder if workers realize, that when they cancel how it affects a host. As I fill a fridge with groceries for them to make their own meals in their private suite here, much will now go to waste.

A host also turns others away and is disappointing when a room is left empty and could have been filled with another helper seeking a place to stay. Not fair to fellow workaways, and not fair to the host.
Anyhow, I don't want to complain, and I don't want her to feel too bad, but she just need to know.

Reversing the tables, I wonder how she would feel, after conversing with a host for more than 3 months about staying, and then if the host kept putting off her arrival date and eventually cancelling completely on the workers, as maybe another better one came along?
It is important that they consider that. She was considerate of her first host, by cancelling on me and vacating her commitment to the festival. I am sure she is sweet and meant no harm but, important to know. A host spends time out of their day to prepares the room, they turn others away, food goes to waste, tasks are left undone, and all after having spent many hours conversing over 3 months conversing and trying to be understanding so very disappointing in the end to have wasted all the time and money preparing.
