Descripción
I'm a female, solo traveller. I love travelling, learning about new cultures and learning languages. I have previously lived in Thailand and France and have done Workaways in many countries including Italy, Nepal and New Zealand.
I'm a DELTA qualified English teacher who is taking a break to explore the world and appreciate living in the moment.
I am very open-minded and enjoy working with people of all ages and from all backgrounds. I'm kind, conscientious and thoughtful.
I'm hoping to find families who I can live and share everyday life with, learn new languages with and immerse myself in the local culture with.

Que habilidades tienes?
I have taught English as a foreign language for thirteen years, both in the UK and abroad, teaching all ages. I love to travel and learn about different cultures and languages. I like to visit one country at a time, immersing myself in daily life in order to truly learn about a culture and give me the best opportunity of practising the language. I am an Airbnb superhost, taking pride in providing guests with a warm welcome and a clean and comfortable space to stay in.
I love being outdoors and enjoy nature. I often help friends and family in their gardens when I visit them; unfortunately I live in a flat so don't have my own!

Diligent is just one word to describe Joanna, but there are so many more—all of them positive.

Nous aurions aimé que Joanna signe un long bail avec nous tellement elle a été parfaite, travailleuse, discrète, agréable et dynamique.
Nos portes lui resteront grandes ouvertes si elle décidait un come back

I had a wonderful two weeks with Michel and Lavinia and wish I could've stayed longer. They have a beautiful home in the middle of the countryside. I was made to feel so welcome and they cooked delicious food!

I spent a month with the Gorget family and had a great time! They are a very friendly, welcoming family who included me in everything. The exchange was for me to help them with their English - everyone was keen and motivated and I did a mix of one-to-one 'lessons' and time when we spoke English all together (for example, we always tried to speak… read more

I had a wonderful week with Ruth; it was a real pleasure to stay in her home and help her. At 90, she is still very capable but there are some everyday jobs which you can help with to make her life easier: the most important thing you will need to do is cook lunch. Other jobs include cleaning, helping with the washing, ironing, shopping,… read more

I spent three weeks with this wonderful family in Massa; a family of three who welcome you into their home and treat you as one of the family from day one. Teddy (the dog) will become your shadow the minute he meets you - he will love you unconditionally for the walks you take him on.

Johanna stayed with us for a week and bit more. She helped us in our farm and house. She is very hard working and is up to do anything you will ask or needs to be done. Having her at our house was a very helpful. She was also very easy going and easy to talk with .I can definitely recommend you to host her.

I stayed at Nischal's for just over a week. It's a large house with plenty of room - there were 5-6 of us staying while I was there. We had comfortable mattresses on the floor and our own bathroom (there is only cold water). Nischal's family are so nice - very friendly and welcoming - I really miss his mum and sister who were so kind to me. The… read more

Joanna was the perfect host on several points of view: she is an attentive, precise, very clean, tidy person and with a great desire to play with my daughters. She helped me a lot in a spontaneous and sincere way. It was definitely a very positive experience and I recommend it without hesitation. She also helped me a lot with housework.
