Descripción

A bit more about me. I am a 52 year young Dutch woman who lived for 20 years in the Austrian Alps and 12 years in northern Spain.

I started my long-term trip on 1st November in New Zealand and went afterwards to Fiji to be on a sailboat for 7 weeks. I would love to travel more and learn in each country about the culture and the people and develop a new skill.

In Spain I was a teacher and grew my own vegetables and made cheese and chorizo. I built my own house (construction work) there too.
While living in Austria I have always worked in Tourism. Tourist Information, Travel Agency, Receptionist, logistics and Project Manager.

I speak fluent English, Spanish, German and Dutch. Do some French and Italian as well.

Love being active. I am easy going, non-judgemental and kind. Love sharing moments with wonderful people.
I am a non-smoker. Don't do drugs and only drink occasionally. I eat all kinds of food (tend more to vegetables than meat/fish though) and I am very handy with all sorts of jobs.
In Spain I supported an organisation helping stray dogs to find a new home. Occasionally fostering for them. With my own dogs I did sheep herding. (Border Collie)

Always looking for a great time with amazing people during my journey. NEW to Workaway.

It was nice having Melanie come and stay with us. She was great in the gardens and helped immensely with clearing our grounds. She was careful in her work and had initiative when it came to an area which need more attention. She was good in all areas including cleaning and cooking. Happy to recommend her to other hosts.

Staying at the Buddhist Centre was a wonderful experience. Unfortunately there weren't retreats during my stay, so I hadn't much "cultural" or spiritual exchange. Nevertheless Chowang and Kate gave me and my fellow workaway-ers the opportunity to attend some teaching classes. The temple is beautiful, and you should physically be fit as the work … read more

Staying at Kirsten's was the best experience!
She is a wonderful warm-hearted woman who truly cares about her workawayers.

The kind of work you do will be adapted to your personal skills and it's very clear what needs to be done. In return you become not only a private, cozy room and delicious home-made meals... no you become part of the family. … read more

Melanie is a first rate and very kind volunteer. You could not ask for a harder working person. She takes incredible pride in her work and has a strong work ethic. In addition to cleaning and greeting guests, Melanie helped with making sourdough bread and granola. Melanie was incredible on the wood splitter and stacked it so neatly and tidied up … read more

Melanie came as a “last minute” guest – and how lucky we have been to have her stay with us! From the moment she arrived, she was eager to help and make a difference to our home and family. Agnes loved playing board games and making cupcakes with Melanie from day 1 and Melanie helped me by working quickly inside and out to bring everything back up … read more

I stayed for 9 days at Clare's. She kindly took me very last-minute even though her current circumstances are a bit challenging. Thank you so much for this pleasant first workaway-experience, Clare!

If you are flexible with working hours, this is a great place. I did the common jobs in the house and a bit in the garden. Enjoyed walking the lovely … read more
