Quelles sont vos compétences ?

I am a retired university professor (intercultural education), and my field of research was the integration process of immigrants and refugees. I used to teach English as a second language. I am a native speaker of English, quite fluent in French and Italian, with good knowledge of Spanish and Portuguese. I love world music and especially classical music. I have hiked a lot, and have been travelling for much of my adult life (over 100 countries). Generally I am good with people, empathetic and a good listener.

I had a nice experience with this family, and everything about the place and the nature of the work is accurately explained in the profile. I particularly enjoyed cycling around the area in the afternoons. Elke was pretty easy-going about the work schedule, and very enthusiastic, positive, and talkative. Grant was extremely kind and helpful to me … read more

It was so great to host Marilyn, she stayed with us for a little more than two weeks.
And this morning it was time to say goodbye and let her go.
We are thankful that we had the opportunity to meet her. She is an amazing person with a quiet, friendly , respectful , super helpful and open personality.

Marilyn stayed with us for over two weeks, and we couldn't have asked for a better Workawayer! She supported our everyday family life tremendously and helped out wherever she could.

She is remarkably attentive, experienced, and deeply proactive—when she sees work, she just tackles it. Her communication is outstanding, she always checks in and … read more

I loved spending time with Doris and her family. She is a very generous, curious and energetic person who was always calm and caring with me and with her kids. She was very patient and helpful with my attempts at communicating in German. Her daughter Elli, age 9, doesn't speak any English so she was a great language teacher for me. I enjoyed my … read more

This is the most fabulous Workaway family! I absolutely loved my experience with them, in the charming village of Montasola. It is a gorgeous area for walking, and I had plenty of opportunity for long walks with their dog, Wonky. Each of the 4 family members is incredibly kind, but also very fun, full of zest for life and passion for their music. … read more

Where can I start with Marilyn? She seemed to know what was needed without us even asking. She would discreetly start cleaning and tidying, in fact the house has never looked so good. We even had to stop her working on her rest days!
On the land she helped build a little rose garden with great enthusiasm. She took pleasure in meeting people and … read more

I had a fabulous week at Laurie's place and wish I could have stayed much longer. Laurie is very generous and kind, and so full of humor and zest for life. Never a dull moment, very fun and enjoyable. As all workawayers have noted, she is a top- notch chef- rustic traditional Italian cuisine - the most authentic you will find. Laurie has excellent … read more

Marilyn is an amazing professional and highly skilled lady. The fact that she hails from my home country Canada meant she could give me updates on what’s going on there nowadays. As a fellow academic she was able also to fill me in on how stressful academic life has become in Canada - plus ca change. She proved highly capable at all the tasks I … read more

This was my first workaway experience, but I am sure it was quite exceptional. Thomas' house is filled with thousands of books and he is a true scholar of philosophy, history, and all religions - a vast wealth of information! He is also very passionate about working towards world peace. It was an intellectually stimulating two weeks. My jobs … read more

I had a wonderful experience with Jocelyne and Serge in Thenac. They were very welcoming and generous, and their home and gardens are lovely. The highlight for me was the opportunity to join in their meditation practice with neighbours and friends, and even at the Plum village monastery. Their lifestyle is very healthy in every way, with beautiful … read more
