Description

Hi my name is Linda. I grew up in Germany, later moved to Canada,where I have lived for 50 years now. 3 adult kids. 4 grandchildren. I am 75 years young. i have lived/worked overseas several times, teaching English (Brazil, Czech Republic, Spain, Romania, Hungary).
I love animals and have fostered for local shelters, also currently, as well as privately. Mostly cats. Through workaway I have helped care for donkeys (Clovelly), and horses (Tiverton).
I love the outdoors rain or shine. Camping and hiking are my favourite outdoor activities in Canada.
Am well travelled and a life-long learner. I love exploring new cultures and places. Adaptable, Sociable and friendly. Kind-hearted. Various interests - from nature to environmental issues, history and old ruins, good conversation, books. But also quiet times. Have done various types of volunteer work in Calgary, Boys and Girls Club, animal rescue, teaching English.
I am a spiritual person and have recently explored the Vipassana meditation practice. Now retired from my job as a senior caregiver. I am excited to explore opportunities I didn't have time for..

I recently spent 2 weeks as a volunteer. I was assigned to garden duty, kitchen work, and whatever random else needed a helping hand. Words fail to describe my experience. I was folded into the community from day one. The kindness of the community, daily meditation, random conversations, shared meals, the laughter and shared experiences was … read more

Linda was a kind, warm lady who played a natural role for a couple of weeks in May. Her enthusiasm for the garden was immediately obvious, she took great joy in the work and was a great presence in our community :) All the best Linda with your travels and adventures

I spent 3 weeks with Sue and Bart and the 14 donkeys. Thank you for teaching me so much about donkeys, their needs, and donkey issues worldwide. You could not find more dedicated 'donkey people'.

The donkeys stole my heart with their differing personalities, their little quirks and moods, their affection - rubbing up to me for back scratches … read more

I spent 3 weeks t teaching the staff English. I could not have dreamt up a better situation: Ildiko and Czaba were the kindest hosts, who looked after my creature comforts to a fault. Their generosity and hospitality went over and above anything I could have expected. My 'students' were a dedicated hard-learning group of employees, eager to better … read more

I stayed with Zana and Jim a little over one week. It was utterly fantastic. The scenery, rural setting, lovely accommodation - but mostly exceptional hospitality, cheerfulness, and good food after working outdoors. We enjoyed some lovely suppers in their comfortable farm kitchen, with good conversation,. Lovely people. Hard-working and devoted to … read more

Linda is great company and very flexable and just slots in to whatever needs to be done.
It was great to have her with me even for such a short time, her skill at clearing things is great, my attic and Ross' office are proof of that.
Thank you again, you are a star, long may you shine.

I spent 1 week with Gitta in Plymouth. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay with her. Gitta is a wonderful host, a kind-hearted woman, very funny. She made me feel very comfortable and it felt like being home. The work was enjoyable, lots of tidying, organizing, interspersed with tea breaks and talking to the chickens:-)) Thanks for always letting me sit … read more

Words fail me to adequately capture the imprint this place left in my soul. Was it the nuns and their endless kindnesses, Father Moses with his organizational flair, Sr. Adriana who never tired of picking me up from Bus stop/airport, the puppies that followed us around as we watched them grow, Violetta who endured my milking efforts, or the place … read more

Linda stayed with us for only 3 months. 'only' - because she taught English to the nuns, and piano to little Bianca. Her lessons were clear and precise and tailored to the specific needs of the Monastery. Her extensive life experience was helpful to all of us. Linda is honest and trustworthy, friendly, and easily adapted to our life. We … read more
