Hello. I joined workaway to meet like-minded people, to have new experiences, develop new skills and give the best of myself. I want to help and support others whilst learning more about myself.
My workaway experiences have been brilliant on the beautiful island of Tenerife and La Palma immersing myself into the culture and helping my hosts. This has involved gardening, general maintenance, teaching English and dog/cat care.
I have been living on a narrow boat in the UK for 2 years and it has been a wonderful adventure - laughter, tears, fears and learning. I love living off-grid and in a small space, nature is so wonderful, calming and beautiful.
I enjoy stand up paddle boarding and I am working towards my coaching qualifications.
In June 2023 I decided to take some time out from my career to seek adventure through travelling and supporting good causes. I worked in the Civil Service for 3 different government departments for 32 years, mostly leading and supporting projects for disadvantaged people and vulnerable community groups and young people. Helping to bridge the gap from worklessness into employment. I love to see people grow and reach their full potential.
My 2 children are grown up now so I want to meet interesting people and discover new places whilst helping others and being the best version of me. I love being a mum, this has taught me many life lessons and how to bring out the best in people.
I am hard working, keen to learn and very flexible in terms of getting the job done. I will always try!
I am a non-smoker, vegetarian and I do not drink alcohol. I am practical and hard-working, enjoy living in the now, being present and listening to others.
I love to run, I enjoy exercise, walking, reading, colouring and writing.
I will always give 100% and respect hosts for providing wonderful opportunities.Intereses

I am very active, I enjoy running, walking, swimming and paddle boarding. So I am quite fit.
I love to learn new skills and I am open-minded. I moved off-grid and have lived on a narrow boat for 2 years.
I am creative and like to innovate new ideas and ways of doing things. I designed a recruitment programme for military service leavers which was adopted cross-government in the UK.
I have a high level of emotional intelligence and enjoy coaching and mentoring others.
I am highly organised and motivated, recently leading a specialist recruitment team to manage 100+ campaigns.Edad
