Description
Hello :)
My name is Angie, a seasoned traveller from the UK currently undertaking a Horticulture degree at Eden Project.
I'll describe myself as an optimistic, open-minded, friendly, hands-on and outgoing individual who has an appetite for adventure and all things creative!
I am really interested in trees, plants and anything to do with nature, I am an experienced gardener and a qualified arborist by trade. I enjoy being outside, in whatever types of weather.
One aim from using Workaway on this trip is to
1) Learn about fungi, permaculture and extend horticultural knowledge.
2) Practice Spanish
3) Learn new skills, and teach some in return!

I can offer any of the following skills:
I have worked as a gardener for years so I adore to get my hands dirty planting and growing fruit, vegetables, shrubs and flowers.
Anything involving arts and crafts - I particularly love upcyling old items. Want to do up some furniture or create something using what you already have? Let's do it!
Sewing! ♡ (capable but not professional ).
Cooking! I am passionate towards learning about food, I especially like to create unique and spontaneous dishes incorporating local ingredients. I have a vegan lifestyle (always happy to cook for myself).
I can teach you the Spanish language (introductory/beginner level only) with a decently structured system in which I was taught.
I know a good handful of yoga poses that I can show you (not an actual teacher by any means), i can teach you some tricks on the hula hoop too. I can show you how to make dreamcatchers and some jewelry.

Autres infos...
I love to meet happy and positive people, with open minds to build friendships and develop good teams whilst working!
This needs to be mentioned to avoid any confusion- I'm not looking to volunteer anywhere where animals are used in any way (horse riding, horse and cart, camel/donkey rides etc). I am an animal advocate so I will not participate in any non-vegan projects (leather work, preparation of non-vegan food). Thanks :)

A big fat five star rating for this workaway! Melanie and Penny are two people that I know TRULY care for animals and put their all into providing a safe and comfortable environment for everyone who resides here. This is the place to come if you want to learn skills such as fencing, building drainage systems, building things out of clay,

Angie stayed with us together with her partner Kane. They are honest, caring and helpful individuals and respectful towards the environment and all it's life forms. They were our first Vegan couple here and we learnt a lot from each other and the basis of a friendship was cast!

Angie is incredibly creative, supportive, and hardworking. She sees what needs done, and jumps right in, rolling up her sleeves to get the task accomplished. She knows how to do many things, and doesn't hesitate to learn new skills. Her inspiring rainbow colored mural, on the theme of water, is a topic of conversation for all who visit.

Angie and Dave were a great help during their stay, they never had to be told what to do but always asked is there anything they can help with. They can certainly cook, their dishes were enjoyed by all on the farm, and they also didn't mind getting their hands dirty in our veggie garden, weeding, planting and harvesting every day. Thank you guys… read more
