Description
Hello!
My name is Hannah. I am 25, British and am currently travelling in Panama with my girlfriend Alina.
I left my home in Surrey, South England 6 years ago to go exploring in New Zealand for a couple of months. Those couple of months turned into 15 months, and since then I have been to the Netherlands, Belgium, Fiji, France, Spain, Malta, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Switzerland and Panama.
I love to travel, but I also enjoy my country and often go back to visit my awesome family and the cabin I built (photo below!).
I love adventures! A couple of years ago I spent a month unicycling unsupported down the length of England...a very silly but worthwhile trip which raised money for a Foodbank!
In the summer of 2022 my fabulous girlfriend Alina and I completed the first part of our project to cross Europe using a different, unmotorised mode of transport through every country we crossed. A very silly but fun trip! We plan to continue next summer.
I come from a large family (I have 7 sisters) and was homeschooled, which means I am very used to living with others and helping out with whatever needs doing. I love learning new languages, playing the piano and the accordion, travelling and exploring, going on bike/unicycle rides and camping. I can also be arty at times! I am an easygoing and sociable person and love chatting but also really appreciate a little time and space to myself every now and then :DCentres d’intérêt

Quelles sont vos compétences ?
As far as work is concerned, I'm very happy to try my hand at just about anything. I like to do things well and thoroughly so I will ask questions, but am also capable of using initiative when necessary. Recently, my jobs have been focussed on carpentry/construction, and I plan to do an carpentry apprenticeship soon.
Paid work experience so far...
-Administration in a Foodbank office
-Reception staff in a youth hostel
-Waitress/barista/kitchen hand in a café
-Floor staff in a bookshop and a charity shop
-EDI in a kiwifruit packhouse
-Cleaner in a hostel
-Au pair (live in nanny) for two families
-Supermarket customer service
-Waitress in a bar
-Carpenter's assistant
Other than that, although cooking is not my favourite thing to do, I did cook meals for my au pair host families, so I am no stranger in the kitchen.
I have been a workaway member before but my account was disactivated as I hadn't used it for over a year - my twelve previous experiences have been in:
-The Netherlands (helping a yoga teacher to rebuild her shed and decorate her studio)
-New Zealand (in the countryside looking after 4 energetic homeschooled boys and gardening)
-Spain (helping to renovate an old house/garden in La Coruna,
then helping to run a hostel on the Camino de Santiago near León)
-Germany (cooking, waitressing and cleaning in a wellness hotel near Luneburg; taking care of many different kinds of animals on a farm/education centre near Frankfurt; then renovating a farmhouse in the Black Forest)
-Denmark (mainly construction work as well as cooking/cleaning in Asnæs)
-France (renovating an old house in les Vosges, then helping to build a treehouse in Brittany)
-Italy (reception/cleaning in a hostel)
-Panama (building a platform on the back of a sailboat in Bocas Del Toro)Âge

They both have great technical skills with carpentry powertools and are both both creative and inventive. When I said they were welcome to give me their own ideas and opinions, they did...and they were always constructive, innovative and very much appreciated. After the first day,… read more
