Writing here on behalf of myself and my 12 year-old daughter, Lola, who will be doing workaways with me.
We are so excited to have discovered this wonderful program, which makes travel affordable and, more importantly, allows workawayers to experience 'real life' in different places.
In June 2023 we did our first workaway for a month with a wonderful family of five in Madrid. It exceeded our expectations on every level and we left feeling that we were leaving family. We especially loved learning about Spanish culture and getting to know our host family. We enjoyed a combination of "tourist" attractions and exploring, with our hosts and independently. It inspired us to carry on with workaways as often as we can make it happen!
We both love the earth, which means a bunch of things. We garden, dry herbs, have a 'wildspace' property. We love farmers markets, hikes, the beach. We love to be outside. Lola adores younger children and animals, and really wants to volunteer where she can help with childcare and/or animals. But we also loved being in the city of Madrid, so open to both urban and rural experiences.
We are community-oriented, which means offering kindness, support and often a portion of our meals or baking to those nearby. We love animals and we love making things.Intereses

Happy to help in whatever ways are needed! Help with animals (worked at a stable when I was a teenager), tend gardens, spend time with kids, or pretty much anything else. Professionally, I worked in Communications for a long time, which included publicity, speech writing, event organizing, etc. I've also been a project manager (wrote a legal guidebook). I'm also a qualified, though inexperienced, mindfulness teacher. I've also been a reporter and an editor. On the personal side, I have a vegetable garden, make jams, elderberry syrup, vanilla essence. Physically, I am healthy and fit and love to work outside or in. My 12 year-old daughter Lola is sweet and mature, and would dearly love to help with younger children and/or animals. When her older sister regularly babysits a 3 year-old boy, Lola often helps out. We have two dogs (one an elderly rescue), two cats, and a free-range bearded dragon. We also have close family with horses and I had horses as a child.
