Description
Greetings! I've been a resident of Chile since 1989, originally from Belgium, and I'm fluent in Flemish, Spanish, German, French, and English. Chile has truly become my home, alongside Belgium, for numerous reasons including family, the beauty of nature, and the dynamic daily life that offers endless opportunities for learning and experimentation.
Living here allows me to engage in various activities such as caring for chickens, dogs, and tending to fruits, vegetables, and making homemade jams. Sometimes, the tasks can feel overwhelming for one person, but I find joy in the diversity of experiences.
In addition to tending to the land and animals, I also have experience with maintenance tasks like painting walls, refurbishing outdoor furniture, and crafting new items from wooden pallets.
My journey to Chile began with my husband and three children, driven by our shared passion for community work. While my husband, a retired social worker, and I, a retired nurse, have dedicated our lives to service, we now seek enriching experiences through Workaway.
My past experiences with Workaway have been extraordinarily positive. I've enjoyed not only the assistance received but also the meaningful conversations and shared culinary experiences.
Join me in this beautiful journey of cultural exchange and shared learning. Together, we can make lasting memories and foster meaningful connections. Cheers to new adventures!
