Descripción

Hello. I am Imelda from Northern Ireland. I love to travel & learn languages, particularly Spanish & French. I have a warm & friendly personality and get on well with people. I enjoy sports & keeping fit - & generally like to enjoy life! I am also very independent & am happy to spend time by myself. I recently spent one month in Corfu, Greece, before spending the summer in Galicia, doing a workaway placement in Pontevedra. I have an Irish passport and can work legally in the EU.

In terms of work history, I spent 20 years working in government legal work in Northern Ireland. I then decided to change direction & travel / work abroad. Over the last 10 years, I have volunteered four times through workaway and worked in the hospitality sector. My first three workaway placements were in Australia (6 months), Mallorca (1 year), and the south of France (5 months). In Australia, I worked in a heritage guesthouse in the Yarra Valley, outside Melbourne; in Mallorca, I assisted a French family with household tasks & drove their teenager to school; and in France, I assisted a French / English family with housework & shopping. I also gave private English lessons.

My paid positions over the last 10 years include working in St. Emilion, France in a boutique guesthouse (2 summer seasons); hospitality positions at home in Northern Ireland; 2 seasons in Jersey in a 4* hotel; one year working in a seaside hotel in south Devon; and 2 years working in a 4* hotel in Cornwall, on the banks of the Helford River.

My most recent workaway roles were in Estepona (Sep '24 - Feb '25) where I helped with cooking, household chores, & walking the dogs; I also taught English in Galicia (summer 2025).

In addition to volunteering abroad, I have travelled to the US, Canada, south-east Asia, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and many European countries. I have also spent one year teaching English in France for the British Council.

I have a full UK driving licence. I have been driving for nearly 40 years & have driven in many different countries. I also have experience of looking after pets.

I would be happy to hear from any workaway hosts who have a role which may be suitable. I am flexible in terms of the length of the stay but would prefer a minimum of one month. My e-mail address is: [email protected].
