Descripción
Hi! I'm Zoë, an 18 year old who has decided to dedicate some time to travel and exploring different cultures! I'm English and Belgian, but half my family originates from the Congo. I can speak English and French fluently, and hope to start studying Medicine in 2022, after my gap year. I love learning new languages and about new cultures, and I strongly believe that if everyone was to explore different cultures and come out of their comfort zone, the world would be a friendlier and more diverse place. :) My family comes from many different places across the world and this has inspired me to travel and expand my horizons. I look forward to doing this through food, adventures and meeting new people. My friends would describe me as open and fun-loving. I'm looking forward to an exciting year ahead!

Que habilidades tienes?
I have done one year of volunteering with children aged 7-10, this entailed reading with them, teaching them science and looking after them. I have also participated in a charity called AgeUK where I had lunch with elderly people every week at school. I am a good cook, and love to bake. I speak both French and English. I organised a charity event and love to lead fundraisers. I love looking after animals, and looked after horses for several years. I studied Computer Science at A-Level, and am very interested and knowledgeable about computers, and the internet.

This was my very first workaway experience and it could not have been better in any way. From the very first moment I met them I felt incredibly welcome and safe and part of their wonderful family. Neli and Ibon always made sure I had everything I needed and I was comfortable, and always offered their advice on fun things to see and do in the… read more region.

Izargi and Adei are amazing children who are bright, playful and loving. Their laughter was infectious and instantly cheered you up. Izargi is a very intelligent and curious girl, who is super affectionate and loves to ask questions. My daily lunches with her will never be forgotten, and are moments which I will treasure forever. Adei is a very funny and sweet little boy who melts your heart, and is always up for playing with you. They both love to read, and reading to them was always a pleasure. They both speak English very fluently, and sometimes helped me learn some Spanish phrases!

The location of the apartament is perfect, Leioa is a very safe feeling town and there is anything you could want within walking distance. If you love cities, the centre of Bilbao is a mere 25 mins away. During my whole stay, there was not one moment that I felt like I was working. I was given a lot of free time to explore the area and Bilbao and do my own work. If you asked me for one favourite memory of my stay, I would not be able to answer. Every single day, brought new memories and I looked forward to spending my time with them. My days were always full of laughter, and not one day went by that I wished I was elsewhere. I have so many funny stories and memories that I will cherish forever.

Neli and Ibon are amazing cooks, all the food that was prepared was delicious and looked gourmet :) Neli's homemade pizzas were outstanding, and Ibon's paella was memorable. They always went out of their way for me to try regional dishes, and spanish treats. Dinners with them were the best! We would chat for ages, and I always ended up in fits of laughter. They were incredibly generous hosts and never failed to help me, for example with finding spanish lessons, and giving me advice on what to see in Bilbao.

The last thing I can say is that leaving them was difficult, with tears being shed in the plane, but I have left Spain with new family members. If you ever have the chance to stay with Neli and Ibon, you should jump at the occasion.

Thank you so much Neli, Ibon, Izargi and Adei!! I miss you all loads, and you are always welcome to come to London. I cannot wait to see you all again :)

Zoë
