Descripción

I have completed three quite different Workaways so far and thoroughly enjoyed each one. I have been helping with English, cooking, cleaning, gardening and weeding, playing with children, walking dogs, house sitting, looking after a pregnant cat and feeding a hamster. I am loving being able to learn about the culture of each country by living there during the Workaway and through interaction with the hosts and families. I am also a regular homexchanger and I love helping out in other people's homes. I always find myself looking to weed gardens, look after pets and fix things around the house. I am a semi-retired art and ceramics teacher and art gallery educator so I'd be happy to teach ceramics or pottery in any studios out there. I love gardening, weeding, cooking and baking and at my house I have a huge vegetable garden. I love animals especially cats. I have an adult daughter who lives in USA, so I have experience with children. I am reasonably fit and go to gym (when at home) and hike regularly. When travelling, I love going off the beaten track, hiking (especially hills and mountains), learning about cultures, the arts and architecture. I am easy going with meals, do not smoke but enjoy a glass of wine (or beer!). I have a travel blog using the wix platform so have some experience with websites and I produce Instagram stories and posts regularly. I would be happy to help out with reading, writing or speaking in English. I look forward to meeting you and helping out!
