Description
I am due to arrive in Australia and looking for exciting and meaningful volunteering opportunities to explore this wonderful country! So far my workaways have included animal care, a bit of turtle conservation, support for a disabled person and working for a social enterprise in Guatemala in the field of sustainable development. I'm really open-minded and a quick-learner and am excited about learning and developing new skills!

I would describe myself as a calm, positive, hardworking and responsible person who is always willing to give 110%! Before traveling I was a primary school teacher for 7 years in China so I'm good with children too! I also hosted a wide variety of fun events for the expat community in Shenzhen, China for four years. I love language learning and experiencing new cultures! I have done workaways in several Latin-American countries, and also in France. I´m very excited for all I will experience, learn and give in Australia!

I had a great Workaway experience in Cumbuco! This was my first stop in Brazil, and I found this location to be a perfect, safe, quiet and beautiful place to have an introduction to Brazil and get speaking my first Portuguese! The work is super fair and exactly as advertised. I did three hours a day 8am-11am 5 days a week, which left lots of time… read more

Carla was a great volunteer and completed all the required tasks to a high standard. Her Spanish was good and she was able to communicate well with community members. Thanks very much for joining us, it was a pleasure to host you!

I volunteered for just under 3 months. What I particularly liked about this experience was the variety of tasks that I did for this Workaway. My work included:
- translating from Spanish to English on the turtle tour and the mangrove forest tour, as well as for the cooking class.
-working in the shop promoting and selling artisan products, and… read more

We were very happy to have Carla at home. She is adorable and someone who you can trust easily. She helped us with the garden, cleaning tasks and she entertained the girls sometimes. I am happy that I could teach her some French! We had dinner together most of the time and enjoyed some time together in the pool, spend some time with our friends… read more

I had a very positive experience with Sanne, Maxime, their two adorable daughters and Napolean the cat :D They were so kind and welcoming and I felt like a family friend staying in their house! The work was not so heavy- some garden tasks (always enjoyable for me) and some light housework. On one day off I was able to enjoy a visit to Lyon, and… read more

I stayed with Michele for about three weeks. Michele is an amazing lady- highly intelligent, active, fun and a delight to be with. To be honest, I did not feel that so much work was required of me- I felt like I was a guest in her lovely home! I enjoyed working in the garden (a hobby of mine anyway) and did some cooking. I accompanied Michele to… read more

Carla stayed with me for about two weeks in October 2022. Carla was very nice and exceptionally helpful around the house. I would be happy to host Carla again, she will always be welcome here!

I had a wonderful experience with Inga, Raul and Renato. A soon as I entered the rescue center, I could feel it was a house of love! The dogs were very friendly and welcoming! Be prepared for a doggie to jump on your lap at any point in the day and demand for love and attention which you are just delighted to give! I found the work to be quite… read more
