Description
Hi! I am an energetic person with skills and passions I would like to share. Aside from the business skills, I also draw and paint, garden and am working to learn Spanish.

Now that I am retired, I prefer to be outside gardening, hiking or enjoying the beach but I am also good with technology and business development

I have a TFEL certification for teaching English as a second language. I have taught computer topics to all ages. I recently spent a month teaching English to adults in Guatemala.

The thing I like best about travel is getting to meet new people in new places. I think that more we can appreciate each other, the more peace we can bring to the world,

Looking forward to meeting you,
Anne

Quelles sont vos compétences ?
I am certified as a TFEL teacher to teach English as a second language. Having studied Spanish for the last two years, I appreciate the challenge of learning a new language. I lived in Germany in college and became fluent in German but I would not say I am fluent today.
I have gardened for over 25 years and understand soil and water and plants. I love working outside.

In the last few years, I have spent more time painting and drawing. During my travels in Australia in 2023 I complete my first 20ft wide mural - an exciting project. I look forward to working on more art projects through workaway in the future.

I have a lot of experience working with small businesses to develop plans and improve the business. This was my focus throughout my career but is not my focus now.
Most importantly, I believe the more we can connect person to person, the better off we will all be.

Autres infos...
I love learning about new people and places. I have traveled in 40 countries but only lived in 2. I would like to get a deeper understanding and appreciation of more places on the planet.
At the same time, it is important to me to contribute along the way.

Many thanks to Mae Nai, Pantilla and Buddy for making my stay so memorable. Through their efforts, I was able to experience parts of Thailand that were unique. They took our group of 6 to 8 volunteers to the Buffalo market, night markets, Lanna Temple ruins and a funeral for a monk who had recently passed away. Because this is in a much less… read more

Laura was a great host. She was very clear about the work she wanted help with in our communication before the stay. She also included me in outings to a local event and to see the town of Cúllar. The separate apartment (cave house) where I stayed was great - lots of space, full kitchen and great shower. Part of my job was to care for Clifford ,… read more

Anne is a sweet and kind person and it has been a pleasure to have her with us for a few weeks!
She has helped me a lot with water management (a great expert in water management) and taking care of the fruit trees and garden.
Very active and hard working. She has also helped me with my English practice and taking care of my dog and house when we… read more

Louise and Hipólito are truly two of the most generous people I have met. They are very welcoming and helpful. Louise was great in communicating early and in helping me to arrange travel plans. There was some confusion on my part about what work might be needed during the stay but we worked it out in a reasonable way. I struggled with the local… read more

I think owing to the situation of not all being on the same honda we all did very well to have a good relationship. There wasn't a lot of work at the moment Anne arrived. But in a country cortijo there is always something to do.
Also we had asked for cooking and Hipólito was happy with that. Her Spanish is good and Hipólito was very patient with… read more

I enjoyed my stay at the Addo, just north of Port Elizabeth. Colin was very helpful in making sure the work I did was a good match between my skills and interests and what he need to have done. The room was very comfortable and the people working at the place welcomed me kindly.
Rather unexpectedly, I had the opportunity to paint four small wall… read more

Anne was my first workaway experiece. To be honest, she blew me away on many levels. I asked her to come and paint a mural. Not only did she climb my not very stable scaffolding and paint the most incredible mural, but she also did so with inspirational zest! She got out every morning early as it was incredible hot. She always consulted and… read more

I had the honor of painting a large mural on the side of Michelle’s house. Because the mural would be so large and visible, it was very important to work together to develop a design that was both feasible in the time we had and something that Michelle would be happy with over time. The collaboration before arriving and throughout the process was… read more

During my short stay with Lyn and Don, I developed a true appreciation for the dedication and hard work required to care for dozens of rescue animals. There was something magical about caring for and cleaning up after wombats, birds, donkeys and more. The animal shelter is required to return all animals to the wild which means the time spent with… read more

Anne was amazing, fitted in so well, shown a task and we knew she would get to it. Lots of animals to feed and care for here so the task of caring and feeding and cleaning after them is continuous. With the help of Anne, we had a bit of a break from it. Anne was so good with the kids, entertainment and knew when to break a bad situation, and she… read more

We were very blessed to get to host Anne for about a week. Working independently she found the sneaky pesky tasks we had been putting off but desperately needed doing and helped us tick them off. A lesson in pruning some neglected fruit trees was invaluable and surely appreciated as much by the trees as by us. Anne has such a lovely energy and… read more

I was very lucky to have a stay arranged with Kelly and Derek at a time when my travel took an unexpected turn. They were very patient and kind which helped me work out my travel challenge.
There was such a variety of jobs to get done that work each day was a little bit different and yet provided a clear sense of accomplishment. Kelly is a great… read more

We've just had the pleasure of having Anne come and stay with us for two weeks to paint a mural on our shipping container.
I am beyond happy with the outcome and enjoy showing others the marvelous artwork that now adorns my back yard. Even our resident kookaburra has fallen in love with the kookaburra in the mural.

Staying with Machatarn in Ocean Shores was wonderful. She welcomed me into her home and was very considerate to make sure there was food I liked, space to work and that she was willing to include me in trips to the shops and to the beach.
Machatarn is an amazing cook. Dinners were something to look forward to every night.
Communication was… read more

The stay with Ray and Kathleen near Harvey Bay was amazing. The timing worked out for me to dog sit their delightful little dog for part of the time. Kathleen is a great cook and very considerate to make sure I had plenty of good food while they were away. The house is a very short walk from a beautiful beach on the bay. I finally saw kangaroos in… read more

My days as a farmhand including collecting dozens of eggs, bottle feeding lambs, harvesting grass, cleaning chicken pens, picking a few oranges and so much more.

I would really recommend her to work in your project because of her organizational… read more

Volunteering at this place provided the opportunity to really see behind the scenes and learn more about the weavers in Guatemala. One of my goals was to understand the challenges and opportunities for the women who dedicate so much time to weaving and preserving the Mayan culture.
