Descripción

Hi, my name is Jennie and I live in Hampshire in the south of England. Whilst I'm an introvert by nature, I have a bit of an adventurous streak, love to travel, to connect with people and hear their stories.

A few of my travelling highlights have been: orca watching off the coast of Canada and a tour along the Icefield Parkway; going Essaouira, Morocco, soaking in the atmosphere of the souks, going to a Hammam spa and having tea and chats with some lovely local women; and visiting the colosseum and Sistine Chapel in Rome.

In 2019 I enjoyed my first workaway experience in Wales (albeit a short one) at an eco smallholding with a lovely family and, though I've not been able to travel much since, I intend to go travelling in Ireland in the spring of 2022. I'm particularly interested in learning about alternative ways of living that are more in harmony with nature.

I've worked in various jobs such as housekeeping, pet care, nannying and nursery work. I have self-published my first novel - a time-travel story inspired by Pride and Prejudice (please check out ‘Back to the Bonnet’ on Amazon, or my website jennifer-duke.com if you’re interested). I’m currently working on another novel as well as creating a colouring book, amongst other things.

I'm interested in different cultures, history and art. I love animals and being out in nature. I’m also interested in mindfulness and practice meditation and a bit of yoga.

Que habilidades tienes?

I have experience with looking after babies and children of different ages. I'm used to preparing meals in other people's kitchens, having cooked for a number of families, and, though my culinary repertoire is not extensive, I enjoy cooking and like to learn new recipes. I can make cold process soap... I'm not sure that will be a useful skill for workaway, but who knows!

Algo más...

I am interested in visiting places where I can learn new skills and gain knowledge about sustainable, environmentally friendly ways of living as well as any fun, creative pursuits. I'd love to meet interesting people and gain experience in such things as growing vegetables, looking after animals, gardening and making things. I'm afraid my outdoorsy work experience is a bit limited but I am keen to learn.
I love visiting places with beautiful scenery and places of historical interest. I enjoy films, books, art and music.
Also, FYI, I am DBS checked.

  Dieta especial
  I prefer not to eat red meat. I’m slightly intolerant to peppers (capsicum) and onion-related veg. I have issues with fresh coriander and blue cheese. Apart from those things, I love food and trying new things!
