Descripción
Hi there ,
I`m Conny , I live in the south of the Netherlands, near Maastricht. I`m a single mom of 59, one son who is studying.
Years ago I started working abroad during my holiday, I took my son with me, I worked on a campsite and the 2 of us had a great time.
Nowadays he doesn't accompany me anymore, but I became affected with this way of travelling.
I already did a number of workaway adventures , worked in Germany, France and the UK.
I have met great people and seen lovely spots, people and places you wouldn't meet or see being a "normal tourist".
I have done lots of jobs , helped with cleaning , painting, cooking and even helped moving to another house. I did house sitting and took care of animals like cats and dogs but also goats, chickens and alpaca's .
Every now and then I had to take care of kids as well.
I especially like to work outside gardening, I like to make my hands dirty , feeling uplifted by working in nature. I have my own experience with (no dig) permaculture and took a course in developing a food forest. At home I`m trying to create an edible garden on my own allotment.

I used to work in ICT, but after 15 years I quit , I wanted to do more meaningfull work and started re-educating in childcare. Having worked with kids about 10 years I again re-educated and now work as a social worker. I always want to educate myself and promote a live-long-learning.

I´m looking for a quiet place far away from crowds , I love to hear just birds singing; I`m definitely NOT a city girl....I would love to learn more about preserving foods and determining edibles in the wild. I do not expect you to entertain me , I love to go for a walk (with a dog ??) on my own or just to read a nice book. I don`t smoke nor drink alcohol, I like veggie, but it's not a must.
I hope to hear from you ,and If you have any questions, please ask!!!!!!

We loved having Conny to stay. She is a lovely person with a great sense of fun and adventure. She fitted in easily and was very willing and hardworking. We would happily invite Conny back and have no hesitation in recommending her to future hosts.

It was a pleasure to host Conny and I am delighted she enjoyed her stay on Arran which included some of Arran's main cultural events such as the Highland Games and an unexpected pub Ceilidh. Conny got a fantastic number of things done while she was here including lots of gardening, weeding and potato lifting. Inside she was very happy to help out… read more

I stayed with Andrew for 2.5 weeks and i had an incredible time on Arran. From the moment I arrived and saw the spectacular view outside his living room, I started to feel relaxed. Andrew is a really nice and versatile person. He has shown me so much of Arran and of the local community, of which I'm very grateful. This is why workaway is so much… read more

It was really nice to have Conny among us. As she also speaks Dutch, she immediately became big friends with our 5-years old (now 6 years old!) daughter. Conny was playing boardgames with her and they had fun in the yoga swing, organised a gymnastics presentation for the public (our family), did storytelling, etc. This was really helpful during… read more

I stayed with this family for about 3 weeks during the christmas holidays. My main task was taking care of the animals. I also did some cleaning and played a lot with little Aylani, which for me didn't feel like work at all , we had so much fun together. This was my fifth workaway family and again was an amazing experience. Their house is so… read more

Conny was fabulously friendly and energetic. She really helped me over a difficult time moving house. She is super kind to animals and children and would be an asset to your home, always thinking of things to do to help. She is self sufficient and has a very calming presence. I can highly recommend her.

I spend a wonderfull 10 days in december with this family in Cornwall. The moment I arrived at the station they made me feel welcome. I helped Laura move from one place to Mousehole. I did some cleaning and unpacking, and I looked after the cottage and adorable cat Misty when Laura and her daughter went away. I had such an amazing time. You can… read more

I stayed with these folks for 3 weeks in August and had an amazing time. I already miss the peace and tranquility of the place . They have made their own little heaven in the woods. You can walk for miles and miles in the woods without coming accros other human beings, observing amazing trees, ferns and mosses. I worked in an outside the house ,… read more

Conny was a great workaway guest. She was friendly, kind, hard working and easy to have around. She did a super job tackling some enormous brambles in our orchard and made a big impact in the area she worked in. She was great and engaging with the children, and the dogs really enjoyed some extra walks. We would happily host Conny again.

I stayed with the family for 2 weeks in august and had a wonderfull time. There are a lot of projects to do but you can pick the project you like the most. Work was very rewarding not in the least by the lovely meals Jayne gave me. The kids are adorable and the dogs I loved to go walking with. Jayne was so nice to introduce me to friends and… read more
